Problem 6.191

Fig. 6.10 shows heat capacity of a crystal vs temperature in terms of the Debye theory. Here CclC_{c l} is classical heat capacity, Θ\Theta is the Debye temperature. Using this plot, find: (a) the Debye temperature for silver if at a temperature T=65 KT=65 \mathrm{~K} its molar heat capacity is equal to 15 J/(molK)15 \mathrm{~J} /(\mathrm{mol} \cdot \mathrm{K}) (b) the molar heat capacity of aluminium at T=80 KT=80 \mathrm{~K} if at T=250 KT=250 \mathrm{~K} it is equal to 22.4 J/(molK)22.4 \mathrm{~J} /(\mathrm{mol} \cdot \mathrm{K}) (c) the maximum vibration frequency for copper whose heat capacity at T=125 KT=125 \mathrm{~K} differs from the classical value by 25%25 \%.
