In the Einstein model, atoms are treated as independent oscillators. The Debye model, on
the other hand, treats atoms as coupled oscillators vibrating collectively, but the collective
modes are regarded as independent. Explain the meaning of this independence, and contrast
it with that in the Einstein model

Expert Solution

Consideration of types of mode is the main difference between both models.

As with other products, Einstein faces the decision of how many GiggleBloxx units to order for the coming holiday season. Members of the management team suggested order quantities of 25,000, 36,000, 48,000, or 65,000 units. The wide range of order quantities suggested indicates considerable disagreement concerning the market potential. The product management team asks you for an analysis of the stock-out probabilities for various order quantities, an estimate of the profit potential, and help with making an order quantity recommendation....

As per Newton objects with mass attract each other, and per Einstein this is further explained by saying that mass warps space-time. So a massive object makes a "dent" into space-time, a gravity well. I have taken to visualizing this as placing a object on a rubber sheet and the resulting dent, being the gravity field. So obviously placing two objects on the sheet not to far from each other will make the dents overlap, and the object will roll...
