In the situation shown in figure T2.5c, the width of the bell curve at half its peak value is 0.021U. If we multiply NA, NB, and U by a factor of 100, then the peak’s width (as you can check) is about 0.0021U. Suppose that we increase each solid’s N and the system’s total energy by another factor of 1018 to create solids containing 1/6 of a mole of atoms (still pretty small objects by everyday standards). Assuming that the trend continues, what will be the approximate width of the combined system’s probability bell curve as a fraction of U?

A. 2 × 10-20 B. 2 × 10-22 C. 2 × 10-10 D. 2 × 10-12 E. 2 × 10-40 F. 2 × 10-42 T. Some other factor (specify).

Scattered light in the atmosphere is often partially polarized. The best way to determine whether or not light from a particular direction in the sky shows polarization is to

A. diffract the light through a single slit. B. squint while looking in that direction. C. rotate a piece of polaroid film about an axis parallel to the ray while looking through it in that sky direction. D. rotate a piece of polaroid film about an axis perpendicular to the ray while looking through it in that sky direction. E. reflect the rays from that direction on a shiny metal surface.
