Question: Consider an object containing 9 one - dimensional oscillators ( this object could represent a model of 3 atoms in an Einstein solid ) .

Consider an object containing 9 one-dimensional oscillators (this object could represent a model of 3 atoms in an Einstein solid). There are 4 quanta of vibrational energy in the object.
Part 1
(a) How many microstates are there, all with the same energy?
(b) If you examined a collection of 50000 objects of this kind, each containing 4 quanta of energy, about how many of these objects would you expect to find in the microstate 000000004?
Do NOT round to the nearest integer.
