My understanding is that at T = 0 K, the degrees of freedom are zero. I am considering a single atom, not a population.

Molecules have trans, rot, and vib modes of energy. Take away rot and vib modes by considering a single atom. What force causes the atom to move?

Take a single atom in a vacuum chamber at T=0 K. The atom is motionless. Add thermal energy to the vacuum chamber. Does this cause the atom to move? If so, by what mechanism?

Thank you very much!

Interesting. Where did this unit come from?

Where M=MASS [SIZE=16px]L=LENGTH T=TEMPERATURE ?

Agreed, but is the number for the “packet” of photons = f?

Is the amplitude of the photon a function of hf?

What did you mean?

A Number? Dimensionless?

Deliberately?

E=hf

How so?

I’m grateful to know I am not alone. Thank you!

Great source, thank you.
