Question: Consider an Einstein solid having N = 2 0 atoms. ( a ) What is the solid's temperature when it has an energy of 1

Consider an Einstein solid having N =20 atoms.
(a) What is the solid's temperature when it has an energy of 10e,
assuming that e = ha ~ 0.02 eV (a physically reasonable
value for a solid)? Calculate this directly from the definition of temperature by finding S at 10 and 11e, computing dS/dU ~ [S(11)- S(10)]/e, and then applying the definition of temperature. (You may find that your work will go faster if you use StatMech to tabulate the multiplicities.)
