(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Explain why the first law of thermodynamics prohibits the possibility of perpetual motion machines.
Concept Introduction:
First law of thermodynamics: According to first law, the total energy of the universe remains constant.
(b)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The given statement that is the second law of thermodynamics prohibits the existence of perpetual motion of machines should be shown.
Concept Introduction:
First law of thermodynamics: According to first law, the total energy of the universe remains constant.
Second law of thermodynamics: According to second law of thermodynamics, the entropy of the universe is the sum of the entropy of the system and the surroundings. For all spontaneous process the entropy of the universe increases.
Laser. Indicate the relationship between metastable state and stimulated emission.
The table includes macrostates characterized by 4 energy levels (&) that are
equally spaced but with different degrees of occupation.
a) Calculate the energy of all the macrostates (in joules). See if they all have
the same energy and number of particles.
b) Calculate the macrostate that is most likely to exist. For this macrostate,
show that the population of the levels is consistent with the Boltzmann
distribution.
