......@@ -441,7 +441,7 @@ Here, we analyze the vibrational energy and heat capacity of a _two-dimensional_
In the lecture, we derived the low-temperature Debye heat capacity assuming that all the vibrational modes have the same sound velocity $v_s$.
In reality, longitudinal and transverse modes have different sound velocities (see [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound#Longitudinal_and_transverse_waves) for an illustration of different sound wave types).
Assume that there are two types of excitations: One longitudinal mode with $\omega = v_\parallel |k|$, and two transverse modes with $\omega = v_\bot |k|$
Assume that there are two types of excitations: One longitudinal mode with $\omega = v_\parallel |\mathbf{k}|$, and two transverse modes with $\omega = v_\bot |\mathbf{k}|$
1. Write down the total energy of the thermally excited phonons in this material *(hint: use the same reasoning as in the [Lithium exercise](1_einstein_model.md#exercise-3-total-heat-capacity-of-a-diatomic-material))*.
2. Verify that at high $T$ you reproduce the Dulong-Petit law.

4. We use $k=\mathbf{k}| = \omega/v_s$ and $dk = d\omega/v_s$ to get
