This lecture delves into classical statistical mechanics, Einstein's quantum harmonic oscillator model, and Debye's continuum eigenmodes model to explain heat capacity in solids. It also explores the Debye temperature, lattice vibrations, and the relation between heat capacity at constant volume and pressure.
