Hi all,
1. Homework Statement
A system of non-degenerate multi-level atoms are all in their lowest energy state. Calculate the entropy of the system.
S = kbTln(Ω)
S = Q / T
dU = TdS - pdV
I'm not sure how to proceed. I know that Ω is the degeneracy function. If all of the atoms in the system are non-degenerate and in their lowest energy level, does this value equal 1 ? If the atoms are in their lowest energy state, what does this say about the temperature?
Many thanks for your help.
