//chapter 7 //example 7.5 //Calculate the electronic polarisability of sulphur //page 189 clear; clc; //given Er=3.75; // di-elecrtic constant of sulphur at 27 degree Celcius gama=1/3; // internal field constant p=2050; // in Kg/m^3 (density) M_A=32; // in amu (atomic weight of sulphur) Eo=8.85E-12; // in F/m (absolute permittivity) N=6.022E23; // Avogadro's number //calculate // Since ((Er-1)/(Er+2))*(M_A/p)=(N/(3*Eo))*alpha_e // therefore we have alpha_e=((Er-1)/(Er+2))*(M_A/p)*(3*Eo/N); // calculation of electronic polarisability of sulphur printf('\nThe electronic polarisability of sulphur is \t=%1.2E Fm^2',alpha_e); // NOTE: There is slight variation in the answer due to round off
