Homework Statement


Starting from S(E,N)=c(N)+3Nk[1+LN(\frac{E}{3Nh\nu})], derive a version of the Entropy, S(E,N) of an ideal solid that is extensive, that is, for which S(\lambdaE,\lambdaN)=\lambdaS(E,N)


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


Basically have to prove that S(\lambdaE,\lambdaN)=\lambdaS(E,N).

I can set it up, but I don't know how to eliminate terms to get to a form I can work with.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I have it setup like this:

S(λ E,λ N)=λ S(E,N)

c(λN)+3(λN)k[1+ln\frac{λE}{3(λN)h\nu}]=λ{c(N)+3Nk[1+ln\frac{E}{3Nh\nu}]


But 1. I don't know how to reduce the left side, and
2. when I distribute λ through the right side, is it on everything ending up looking like this: c(λN)+λ(3Nk)[λ+ln\frac{λE}{λ(3Nh\nu)}]? Or something else...

There's one too many lambdas in there:
c(λN)+λ(3Nk)[1+ln\frac{λE}{λ(3Nh\nu)}]
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
