In terms of Einstein's theory of heat capacity

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the temperature at which the energy per mole of a solid reaches one-third of its classical value of 3RT, using Einstein's theory of heat capacity. Participants are uncertain about manipulating the heat capacity formula, specifically how to incorporate the Einstein temperature, T_e = hν/k. There is also a query regarding the appropriate function for finding total radiancy when given wavelength and temperature, debating between the Stefan-Boltzmann law (R = σT^4) and a more complex formula involving wavelength. Suggestions include integrating the heat capacity from 0 to T and setting it equal to 3RT to solve for T. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in applying these thermodynamic principles.

A) What temperature will the energy per mole of a solid achieve one third its classical value of 3RT. Express in terms of einstein temperature
Einstein Temperature T_{e} = \frac {h \nu}{k}

where h is Plancks constant
k = boltzmann's constant

Not really sure on how to do this?

Do i use this formula

C_{v} = \frac{3 N_{a} h^2 \nu^2}{k T^2} \frac{e^\frac{h\nu}{kT}}{(e^\frac{h\nu}{kT} - 1)^2}

i know that the term hv / kT must be the exponent of e but i can't get it to work. but that is beside the point
but how do i manipulate it to get what i need?

Now onto the Blackbody radiation topic
IIfyou have the wavelength and the temperature then which function would you use for finding the Total Radiancy?

R = Sigma T^4 or the big formula 2pi h c^2 / lambda ^5 ( 1 / e^ hc / lambda k T)

Which is the the Total radiancy function?

How about integrating C_v from 0 to T and setting it equal to 3RT? Then solve the resulting equation for T.

To help with the integration use the transformation T = 1/u!
 
The total radiated intensity (power per unit area) of a black body is given by the Stefan-Boltzmann law:

R = \sigma T^4.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
