Lecture
Entropy: Microscopic View
Description
This lecture delves into the microscopic perspective of entropy, emphasizing the equilibrium of a system in various energy states and the statistical entropy definition. It explores the concept of maximum entropy in isolated systems and the irreversibility of natural processes, discussing the arrow of time and the implications of the second law of thermodynamics. The presentation includes the Boltzmann formula for isolated systems and the analysis of irreversible phenomena through an entropic lens.
