Homework Statement


a. Find macro states of 4 particles among two energy level one of which is twofold degenerate. SOLVED
b. Find the thermodynamic probability of each macrostate for indistinguishable particles. SOLVED
c. ------------------distinguishabled problems (need help)
d. the assembly for b and c.
Answers: a. 5. b. 5,4,3,2,1, c. 16,32,24,48,24. d. 84,15

Homework Equations


Concept: MBE statistics applies to classical distinguishable particles not obeying exclusion principle. FD applies to indistinguishable obeying exclusion principle. Bose Einstein applies to indistinguishable without exclusion.

Thermo. Prob. = W = (gj+Nj -1)! / (gj-1)!Nj! this is for BE stats which I used for b and obtained correcting answer
W = N! (Pi)j gj^(Nj) / Nj! (FD statistics I thought to use for c.)

where (Pi) is big pi standing for product, gj is degeneracy (2 here), Nj is particles in Energy state, N is total particle (4) FD statistics I thought to use for c.

The Attempt at a Solution


W = N! (Pi)j gj^(Nj) / Nj!
applying for macro state of 4 where one can have different arrangements of 4 particles in each level.
W4 = 16 CORRECT
W3 = 32 CORRECT
W2 = 24 CORRECT
W1 = 48 INCORRECT
W0 = 24 INCORRECT
Am I using the wrong formula? I know for d you can just sum up each macro state so I mainly need help with c please.
 
SOLVED.
 

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

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...

Thread 'Help to convert units of a simple formula'

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 ?
