Energy and Entropy 2020
Consider a three-state system with
energies \((-\epsilon,0,\epsilon)\).
- At infinite temperature, what are the probabilities of the three
states being occupied? What is the internal energy \(U\)? What is
the entropy \(S\)?
- At very low temperature, what are the three probabilities?
- What are the three probabilities at zero temperature? What is
the internal energy \(U\)? What is the entropy
\(S\)?
- What happens to the probabilities if you allow the temperature
to be negative?
