Problem 6.190

Calculate the zero-point energy per one gram of copper whose Debye temperature is Θ=330 K\Theta=330 \mathrm{~K}.

Reveal Answer
 6.190. U0=9RΘ/8μ=48.6 J/g ,  \text { 6.190. } \quad U_{0}=9 R \Theta / 8 \mu=48.6 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g} \text { , } where μ\mu is the molar mass of copper.
