... 4) Deep in the forest, a 17.0g leaf falls from a tree and drops straight to the ground. If its initial height was 5.30m and its speed on landing was 1.3m/s, how much non-conservative work was done on the leaf? We will use conservation of energy. Initially the leaf has gravitational potential energy, ...

... the properties of solids. While it is indeed an improvement, the Drude-Sommerfeld model is still only a free electron model. There are no features in the model to enable it explain anisotropy in material properties. The parameter , the number of free electrons per unit volume, is the same regardless ...

Density of states
.svg?width=300)
In solid-state and condensed matter physics, the density of states (DOS) of a system describes the number of states per interval of energy at each energy level that are available to be occupied. Unlike isolated systems, like atoms or molecules in gas phase, the density distributions are not discrete like a spectral density but continuous. A high DOS at a specific energy level means that there are many states available for occupation. A DOS of zero means that no states can be occupied at that energy level. In general a DOS is an average over the space and time domains occupied by the system. Localvariations, most often due to distortions of the original system, are often called local density of states (LDOS). If the DOS of an undisturbedsystem is zero, the LDOS can locally be non-zero due to the presence of a local potential.
