An Introduction to Thermal Physics 1
Problem 35P According to the Sackur-Tetrode equation, the entropy of a monatomic ideal gas can become negative when its temperature (and hence its energy) is sufficiently low. Of course this is absurd, so the Sackur-Tetrode equation must be invalid at very low temperatures. Suppose you start with a s

In Fig. 35-39, two isotropic point sources S1 and S2 emit light in phase at wavelength l and at the same amplitude. The sources are separated by distance 2d ! 6.00l. They lie on an axis that is parallel to an x axis, which runs along a viewing screen at distance D ! 20.0l. The origin lies on the perp

Family size. Suppose we want to estimate household size, where a household is defined as people living together in the same dwelling, and sharing living accommodations. If we select students at random at an elementary school and ask them what their family size is, will this be a good measure of house
