### Exercise 1: Lattice vibrations
1.
Hint: Normal modes have the same function as $$\mathbf{e}_1,\mathbf{e}_2,\mathbf{e}_3$$ in $$\mathbb{R}^3$$.
Hint: Normal modes have the same function as $\mathbf{e}_1,\mathbf{e}_2,\mathbf{e}_3$ have in $\mathbb{R}^3$.
Hint: The lectures concerns atom vibrations, so what will a phonon be?
??? Final Hint
What's the question's title?
Hint: What kind of particles obey Bose-Einstein statistics? What kind of 'particles' are phonons?
2.
Group velocity is given as $v=\hbar^-1 \frac{\partial E}{\partial k}$ with $E=\omega \hbar$.
