2. (a) Find the entropy of a set of N oscillators of frequency ω as a function of the total quantum number n. Using the multiplicity function, g(N, n) = (N + n − 1)! n!(N − 1)! and make the Stirling approximation logN! ≈ NlogN − N. Replace N − 1 by N. (5 points)

Part C The quantum state of a particle can be specified by giving a complete set of quantum numbers (n,l, ml,ms). How many different quantum states are possible if the principal quantum number is n = 2? To find the total number of allowed states, first write down the allowed orbital quantum numbers l, and then write down the number of allowed values of ml for each orbital quantum number. Sum these quantities, and then multiply by 2 to account...
