TL;DR
Debye model
Can a solid vibrate with only one frequency-Debye maximal frequency?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Well, if you had a crystal where atoms would vibrate independently around their equilibrium position, this system would be described by the Einstein model with only one vibration frequency.
