Not a clue Number of oscillators.

[quickclick330]

A carbon nanoparticle (very small particle) contains 8000 carbon atoms. According to the Einstein model of a solid, how many oscillators are in this block?


I have no idea where to even begin, can someone point me in the right direction?

Understanding what the Einstein model is should help solving this question.
