I am trying to work on question (ii), the general expression of approximation of one solid would be Ω = (q+N/q)^q⋅(q+N/N)^N, and the total Ω = Ω1⋅Ω2 now there are two solids in the system with a total energy of 2N units, what should be the q? If I substitute 2N into q, it means that each solid...

Got it, thanks so much!

Homework Statement Consider the system of two large, identical Einstein solids, each with oscillators, in thermal contact with each other. Suppose the total energy of the system is 2 units of the energy quanta, i.e., =2ℏ, (i) how many MACRO-states (e.g., one macro-state corresponds to one...
