    Qualitative description of unbounded ocean system

    Homework Statement [/B] a) Suppose that you have the unbounded ocean show in the picture, where h = 2000 m. At t = 0, the system is allowed to relax. Make a qualitative description of its evolution and final state if i) L = 100 m, and ii) L = 10,000 m. b) At what speed should an observer...

    Crystal Lattice of Spin-1 Particles: Chemical Potential?

    Homework Statement A crystal lattice consists of a spin 1 particle at each lattice point. Spin 1 particles can have z-components of magnetic moment that take on the values +μZ, 0, and -μZ. In an external magnetic field B, each spin can have an energy U = -μZB, so the possible energies are...

    Probability of a state containing n particles (Maxwell-Boltzmann)

    Homework Statement For a system of particles at room temperature (use kT = 0.026 eV), the energy of a single particle state is 0.01 eV greater than its chemical potential, so that ε-μ = 0.01 eV. Computer the average occupancy of this single particle state, as well as the probability of the...
