Thermal physics in the data age—Students judge the applicability of the equipartition theorem
Providing students of introductory thermal physics with a plot of the heat capacities of many low density gases as a function of temperature allows them to look for systematic trends. Specifically, large amounts of heat capacity data not only allow students to discover the equipartition theorem but also point to its limited applicability. Computer code to download and plot the temperature-dependent heat capacity data is provided.
期刊介绍:
The mission of the American Journal of Physics (AJP) is to publish articles on the educational and cultural aspects of physics that are useful, interesting, and accessible to a diverse audience of physics students, educators, and researchers. Our audience generally reads outside their specialties to broaden their understanding of physics and to expand and enhance their pedagogical toolkits at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
