Homework Statement
no of states for N identical free particles with energy between E and E+δE is proportional to -
Relevant Equations
for microcanonical ensemble
the answer is NE^0.5 but my answer is E^0.5N
the # of state is Ω=( one particle phase-space volume)^N
one particle phase-space volume=integration of dq*integration of dp
from space part dq I get V and dp is converted into Energy E variable via E=p^2/2m
 
Physics news on Phys.org
considering 3D and the volume of sphere in 3N dimensional space
\sum_{i=1}^n (p_{ix}^2+p_{iy}^2+p_{iz}^2)=2mE
I got volume of the shell is proportional to
E^{\frac{3N}{2}-1}dE
 
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 ?
