How many lowest
modes in a solid of size L?
Density of lowest modes ~
(Number of lowest modes) / (frequency)(volume)
Density of lowest modes ~
(Number of lowest modes) / (frequency)(volume)
3
1/L
L3
~ L-2
Since frequency ~ 1/L, density
of lowest modes ~ frequency2
cf jammed solids: they must have lots
of lowest modes or
very small w0(L)
which?
