Prove that the pressure and the volume of a degenerate electron gas are related by an equation similar to the Poisson equation, and find the adiabatic index gamma=C_(p)//C_(v).

Answer»


SOLUTION :Making USE of the result of the PREVIOUS problem, we obtain
`P=(2h^(2))/(5M)(3/(8pi))^(2//3)N^(5//3)V^(-5//3)`
which yields
`PV^(5//3)` = const
The ..adiabatic index.. is `gamma=5//3`.
