The lower box has been calculated from the data of the aboveTable.Fig. 7.26 Constructed from the data in the lower box of Fig. 7.25. As wee see, q approachesunity when the temperature increases (we have plotted the mid point of the temperature intervalsindicated in the Table of Fig. 7.25). For these average values of α average , the prediction (4.16)(μ ≡ α) issatisfiedwithinanoverallerrorbarof1.6% (intriguingly small, in fact, if we take intoaccount that we are using average values for α; compare with Fig. 5.61, where the error bar is10%).
