Hi, when someone gives me an angular frequency in units of inverse length (i.e., 520.5 cm^-1) how do I convert that to a frequency and and energy (say, in eV?). Thanks for the help!
Okay, so it's simply understood that when saying per unit [units] you mean the standard unit for that system. That answers my question. Yet it seems so much better to simply be explicit and say what units you're talking about. It takes no more time.
But how is that definition descriptive? For concreteness, let's say that p=5 and so we're saying there are 5 states per unit volume.
You say that there will be p*V states in a volume V. So in a unit volume of 1 m^3, there are supposedly 5 states. But then again, in a unit volume of 1...
Hi, often I hear people say that there are "X states per unit volume" or something along these lines. What is meant by unit volume? Is this one cubic meter, a cubic centimeter, or what?
This is a general question about the terminology that people use anytime they say "per unit"...
