Debye specific-heat theory — UPSC CSE 2018 Physics PYQ

Buy PYQ Solution Manual →

If the temperature variation of heat capacity is known, how do you calculate the change of entropy during an isochoric process? According to Debye's theory of specific heat of a solid, the molar heat capacity of diamond crystal at constant volume varies with temperature (T) as follows: c_v=\frac{12}{5}\pi^{4}R\left(\frac{T}{\Theta}\right)^{3} where R is the molar gas constant =8.315\ \mathrm{J/mol\ K} and \Theta=2230\ \mathrm{K} for diamond. Calculate the change in entropy of diamond of 0.36 g mass when it is heated at constant volume from 0 K to 300 K.
