PREFACE 
This manual contains solutions to the problems in Fundamentals of Statistical and Thermal 
Physics, by F. Reif. The problems have been solved using only the ideas explicitly presented 
in this text and in the way a student encountering this material for the first tillle would 
probab]_y approach them. Certain topics which have implications far beyond those called for in 
the statement of the problems are not developed further here. The reader can refer to the 
numerous treatments of these subjects. Except when new symbols are defined, the notation 
conforms to that of the text. 
It is a pleasure to thar,k Dr. Reif for the help and encouragement be freely gave as this 
work was progressing, but he has not read all of this material and is in no way responsible for 
its shortcomings. Sincere thanks are also due to Miss Beverly West for patiently typing the 
entire manuscript. 
I would great]_y appreciate your calling errors or omissions to my attention.

1.1 
There are 6-6-6 = 216 ways to roll three dice. The throws giving a sum less than or equal to 6

The probability of a particular sequence of digits such that five are greater than 5 and five are

less than 5 is (2) (2). Then multip:cying by the number of permutations gives the probability

and

m =

we find m2 = N and ";f+ = 3lf - 2N. 
1.7 
The probability of n successes out of N trials is given by the sum

w(n) = E E

with the restriction that the sum is taken only over terms involving w1 n times.

Then W(n) = E w.

n=O n!(N-n)! 1 2 
Applying the restriction that w

'We consider the relative motion of the two drunks. With each sillr..i.ltaneous step, they have a

required for melting the ice is mi.f, vbere mi is the mass of the ice. Since for the other compo­

(a) pV7 = constant for an adiabatic quasistatic process. substituting pV = v Rr ve have

(b) The entropy change of an ideal gas in a process taking it from T1,vi to Tf,Vf vas found in 
problem 4.3 
t:,S = O for an adiabatic quasistatic process. 
5.2 
and since 1n 1 = O, it follows that 
V l-7 
( ...!.. ) Ti' = Ti V 1 
(a) W = J p a;, = area enclosed by curve = 314 joules 
(b) Since the energy of an ideal gas is only a function of the temperature and since pV = Rr, 
3 PcVc PAVA 
AE = ~ 6T = 2 R ( ~ - -R-) 
= ¾ (6-2) x 1a9 ergs= 6co joules 
( c) Q = AE + W vhere AE is calculated in (b) since the energy change is independent of path. 
Again the vork is the area under the curve. 
Q = 600 + [ 4CO + 
1
~ ] = 1157 joules 
5.3 
(a) 
(b) W = J p a!-/ = area under curve = 1300 joules 
(c) To find the heat, Q, ve first find the energy change in going from A to c. This, of 
course, is independent of the path. 
t:.E = c.p = i R(Tc-TA) = i (PcVc - PAVA) = 1500 joules 
20 
Then since Q = .6E + W 
Q = 1500 + 1300 = 2800 joules 
(d) From problem 4.3

5.4 
(a} The total system, i.e., water and gases, does not exchange energy with the environment, so 
its energy remains the same af'ter the expansion. Since the water cannot do vork, its energy 
change is given by the heat it absorbs, 6E = Q = G,_,fT, where ~ is the heat capacity. The 
energy of the two ideal gases is, of course, dependent o~ on temperature, .6E = C6T, where C is 
the heat capacity. 
6E(vater) + 6E(He) + 6E(A) = O 
'1l(Tf-Ti) + CHe(Tf-Ti) + CA(Tf-Ti) = O 
Thus Tf = Ti, no temperature change. 
(b) Let -l be the distance from the left and v the number of moles. 
Renee, in equilibrium -l = 3(80-f..), -l = 60 cm.

(a) The temperature decreases. The gas does work at the expense of its internal energy. 
(b) The entropy of the gas increases since the process is irreversible. 
(c) The system is isolated, Q = O, and from the first law 
6E = -W = - T (V f-V o) 
The internal energy of the gas is o~ a i'unction of temperature, .6E = vcv(Tf-T

If we choose the zero of energy to be that of the electrons in the metal, the partition function 
of an electron in the gas outside the metal is by (9.10.7) 
s = 2v (27r m k.Ti e-vjkT 
h3 
where the factor 2 occurs because electrons have two spin states. The chemical potential µ
0 
is 
:!Ound from the Helmholtz free energy. 
F = -kl' 1n Z = -k.T [N 1n ~ - N 1n N + N] 
= ~ = -k.T 1n 1 = -kl' 1n 2V3 (2nm kT)~ e-vjkT

The chemical potential inside the metal is justµ= V - ~, and in equilibrium the chemical 
0 
potentials inside and outside are equal, i.e.,µ=µ.

Thus 
Hence the mean number of electrons per unit volume outside the metal is

Consider a situation in which the metal is in equilibrium with an electron gas. Then the emitted 
flux is related to the incident flux by 
q,e = (1-r) q,i (1) 
The electron gas outside the metal may be treated as a classical ideal gas from which it follows 
that the incident flux is

•i - 4 nv - 4 ~3 (2mn l<T) e /l<T l""' 
where we haved used (1) of problem 9.23. The emitted flux is then given by (1). But since the 
emitted flux cannot depend on the conditions outside the metal, this is also the flux where 
equilibrium does not prevail. Thus the current density is 
where e is the electronic charge.

There are (27r)-3 d3_!t states per unit volume in the range (1t:d1t) and with a particular direction 
of spin orientation. Since the mean number of electrons with one value of K is ~/3(€-µ) + ~ 
If we take the z direction to be the direction of emission, the number of electrons with wave 
vector in the range (~:d~) and of either spin direction which strike unit area of the su....-f'ace 
of the metal per unit time is 
(1) 
Then the total current density emitted is given by summing (1) over all values of K which will 
allow the electrons to escape. That is, the part of the kinetic energy resulting from motion in 
the z direction must be greater than V, or ~2

F.a.ch of these integrals is 
(a) Since the integrand in (9.17.9) is even, one can write

m - m _ 
(A;e_) = µ(V' -V) 
mml 
whereµ= -- , m being the mass of the ions and~, the mass of the heavy molecules. Since 
m-tml 
the mean values vx and vy are zero, it is clear that (Apx) = (Apy) = O. Hence we are left with 
(Ap ) = µ(V ' - V ) and z z z 
dn' cr(V,e')(Ap ) z 
(2) 
V' is given in terms of V and the scattering angles. Using the coordinate system illustrated 
z z 
in Fig. 14.8.1, we see that 
V z' = V'cos(y' ,!) = V cos (y' ,!) 
since V' = V. Inspection of Fig. 14.8.1 yields 
V cos (Y',~) = v[cos(y,z) cos e'+sin e'cos ~' sin(y,z)] 
= V cos e'+ V sin 0 1 cos cp' sin (y,E._) 
z 
and µ(V '-V ) = µV (cos e'-l)+µV sin e'cos cp' sin (Y,!) z z z 
Substituting into (2) we obtain, since J~os cp'dcp' = O,

But since F'(t ') is random, the second term on the right is O. By equipartition

Thus 
~ -rt {v(o)v(t)) = - e m 
and since (v(o)v(-t)) = (v(o)v(t)), we have for all t
