Hi friends! I've just made a video showing you how to count the microstates in a system - this is the most fun part of calculating a system's entropy. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/3pl_pJQDW4k/w-d-xo.html As always, thanks so much for your support! :)
@@saraw8104 Yes if you can at least verify it experimentally. It is not easy to tie the statistical definition to the thermodynamic one..... but a lot of semi-rigorous arguments are possible. (Entropy thermodynamically in the integral of a heat transfer over the temperature as pointed out in the video. Weird! The Greek Ottoman Empire mathematician Caratheodory had a very mathematical justification of this entropy.)
Hello, I'm a physicist (PhD student) myself, and I'm positively surprised to having discovered this small channel. I like the quality and dedication you put into your videos in order to explain physics in an understandable manner. Everything was very neatly explained and illustrated, I'm delighted to see you explaining the energy scale subject AND clarifying that it is not about actual height levels of a box, because I very often see non-scientists confuse those. Thank you for that. Now for some criticism: Of course, everything makes perfect sense for me as a physicist, but I would like to see more explanation about why you set up those seemingly arbitrary rules. For example, a normal person might not know why the energy of a system is such an important parameter and why you're constructing your box in such a way that it remains constant. Also explaining what an "isolated" or "thermal equillibrium" system means in this context might help alot. Finally, I kind of missed the conclusion for the macroscopic world about this definition of entropy, for example what a system with many possible microstates actually means. Also, it is a missed opportunity in my opinion to not touch the subject about microstate transitions because this is fundamentally the reason for disorder, because the system tends to spread out into a variety of microstates AND that it is in general impossible to measure all those at once - hence the disorder i.e. lack of information. But all in all, very well made video, 9/10. You've earned my subscription, and I'm eager to see more good content!
The video serves its purpose perfectly and - much like Emma Peel (google if you’re too young to recognize the name) - fully deserves a 10. Your suggested improvements would triple the length, losing viewers for minor gain. I’d like to think my opinion is not biased by the Halo Effect of Parth’s compelling personality, but he could make good channel describing grass growing or paint drying.
Parth: hottest day reaching 35 degrees me who has gone through the 50 degrees heat in Delhi: u gotta pump those numbers up those are rookie numbers. 😂😂 LOVED THE VIDEO AS ALWAYS. THANKS FOR CONSTANTLY INCREASING MY LOVE FOR PHYSICS.
Yeah, 35°C is great, you're still warmer than the environment. When the cooling breeze becomes a warming breeze and the only way to cool down is by sweating (and praying for low relative humidity) is when you can start bragging about the heat.
I am in Canada where we can go to -25°C on a regular basis and then we can swing up to 35° in July/August. I have been told by some of our India born citizens whom I work with, that anything over 32-34 in Canada, because of humidity, is more uncomfortable than many summer days in India.
Sounds like Emmy Noether had something to say about entrophy in abstract algebra. Your examples reminds me about symmetries in abstract algebra. But then again symmetry is orderly. 6 probabilities of turning a triangle while it still remains symmetric. Vs 6 ways of arranging your Particles in a 5E box.
Man I wish my physics textbooks were like your document. Didn't really have a lot of problem solving them after your explanation, don't know if our physics textbooks are at fault or our teachers at school.
As a 3rd year physics student, these documents are brilliant. We learnt some T&Statistical physics last semester but you have done a brilliant job explaining Boltzmann's entropy equation. If you keep the same format of the LaTeX document for each subject you eventually work on, this could build up a wonderful resource of learning. I would support a patreon if you started one. With every video so far I have watched from your channel, you explain the topic very clear.
Wow... You're turning out to be my favourite youtube channel... I really enjoyed the video, and also the document you made. I hope you will keep the upcoming videos and documents for free (at least the solutions, as you mentioned in the conclusions), cause otherwise i won't be able to access those. However, i understand you want your work to be molt valuable. Anyway, do whatever you think it's best and keep doing these fantastic videos ;)
Before watching this video, I watched what I assumed would be an easier watch with a TedTalk and by far your video was much much better. Thank you and good job!
Man you are a genius. You explain so difficult thing in so easy way. It's become so clear for me. Thank you! I’d love to listen more about classical definition of entropy and how it corresponds with Boltzmann entropy.
Just found this - it is so helpful. The 'measure of disorder' definition seemed so vague until you explained what it means. Accessible video that give real insights.
IM IN 3RD YEAR OF BTECH IN MECHANICAL ENG. TILL TODAY I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHAT EXACTLY ENTROPY IS . BUT WITH YOUR VIDEO I UNDERSTOOD SOUL OF ENTROPY . THANK U SO MUCH
As soon as anyone says _"entropy is a difficult subject to get your head around"_ I get very suspicious about the motive for doing this because *its not* if you just tell the *truth!* Much as I enjoy your clear presentation Parth, I need say what is missing here, which is actually the reason why entropy is difficult to understand now, because it didn't used to be. 1) The *microstates* of a system are not only the arrangement of energy levels, they also include all possible *positions* of the particles! 2) Omega is *not* only the total number of microstates in the system it is usually less depending on the choice of *macrostate!* 3) The assumption Omega = total number of microstates is required to derive Clausius equation for entropy change, as is the inclusion of the Boltzmann constant and the use of the natural logarithm. 4) Richard Feynman would teach Boltzmann's equation setting k = 1 and use log (base 10) so he had s = log (Omega) and that is still a valid entropy. But this means entropy actually has *no units* its just a number ! Which is the truth. What all this means is you have been taught entropy from a *naturalistic* point of view which omits certain facts which end up making entropy confused. You really need to question things more. The original Boltzmann equation was easy to interpret as *measure of disorder* because order is *intuitive* because the assumption *all microstates are equally likely* actually dictates the process is *random* and random processes *always create more disorder* which is the normal perception. *BUT* doing that makes, as James Jeans put it *entropy is purely subjective* because the *macrostate is a choice of the observer* and that makes entropy *subjective.* In fact just like the term probability, entropy does not exist outside of a *mind* it is *not of nature!* and that is a big problem for naturalists who can't accept anything which is not of nature and minds certainly are not. Sorry but this must be said.
Entropy represents disorder because an organized distribution tends to randomize, increasing its own continuance. Easiest to see, perhaps, with wave functions.
Amazing video sir. Although entropy is prescribed in Our 11th standard chemistry syllabus but your explanation gave me a overview before starting the chapter. Thank you and kindly consider making a video on special theory of relativity.
Entropy was a concept which no one could explain me for a long time in such simple terms, Your Every video has Helped me increase my Interest and Knowledge in Physics in a Fun Way!!!!! Waiting for more Videos on Quantum Mechanics as well!!
Parth!!!!! Amazing video! Heading straight to the worksheet. Thank you~^^ Edit: Okay so here I am to share my thoughts. I thoroughly enjoyed the 8 pages. The questions were quick to solve after watching the video. I was stuck on the equation question but then your solution was handy so was able to get around it easily. Once again thank you so much~ And yes "indistinguishability" is indeed a long word. Lol!
This is great, within the realm of physics & mathematics. But if you really want to plumb the depths of the idea of entropy, start by asking yourself, well what exactly is 'order'? (Before you can start building models of _dis_ order.) Order has a lot to do with the nature of the human mind, which is configured to look for patterns. If you don't have minds that are looking for patterns, imho there is no such thing as order _or_ disorder. So that's a wider context on the highly developed and useful science of entropy: the latter is an attempt to 'objectify' something that is based on inherent human subjectivity.
OMG you're so good. Feeling lucky that this video popped up in my home page and I found this channel. Keep up the good work and TYSM for these brilliant contents.
Wouldn't there be one more fundamental "assumption" ie that the microsystem is held motionless in a relatively static position? It seems intuitive that a direction/mass/velocity would also produce a bias or different effect since each part of the system affects every other part. If this is the case, then to really be useful maybe assume that your relative position is not static since universally this cannot really be true. Maybe assume you do have direction/velocity/mass and you must assign a value? Just pondering these things. Physics is fun maybe because there's so much to learn.
'Fun physics content' - not a concept when I decided not pursue physics beyond O-Level in 1976. Many thanks, Mr G. Have subscribed in the hope of being better educated.
Well done!!!! Can you define "carry" for each particle? Is it a required component? Is it pre-defined? is it static or dyunamic or optional variable? Can it be changed? If so, how so? Also, I am attempting to apply Physics to the mind. Does anyone know of practical applications? Because if physics describes our world then it MUST also apply to our minds and how we think. Anyway, anyone know of physics applied to the mind resources/sites? Thanks!
Your videos are just amazing, they make these shady concepts so clear to me. Thanks a lot. You know it would tremendously help if you would make playlists of videos, going through the different topics: like a playlist for Quantum Physics, one for EM waves, one for Mechanics using Hamiltonian and Lagrangian, etc etc.
My friend, you have made one of the best concept explanation videos on TH-cam. It's actually more fun than most weeknight shows on TV. Now, I'm going to subscribe for more. Thank you!
I really liked the video, but I loved the document even more, as it helped wrapping my head around the concept once again. I really like your content, keep up the good work
i really like yor way of explanation sir i hope you will make a playlist on EMFT, quantum physics etc... you are the best in this field although i am an engineering student i watch your videos because your way of explanation and presenting the content is different and very interesting. definitely you are one of the best youtube educator
I agree with the commentator who said he saw no connection between delta Q/T and the ln-based definition of entropy. Since heat flows from the higher-temperature body to the lower-temperature body, it is obvious that entropy thus always increases, since dQ/Tlow is a larger quotient than dQ/Thigh. That practical fact has no intuitive connection to order or disorder or to natural logarithms. Explanation, please.
Thankyou so much for this video sir.......I am currently in class 11th and wondering about what actually entropy is....but this video satisfied me and now I can feel this topic.....
Hey Parth, I don't know if you'll ever read this, but thanks a lot. I'm your average 11th grader from India, hope this doesn't send anyone away. When I was in 9th, these fundamental concepts of, well, "advanced science" (for me it was that at that time). Entropy, superposition, uncertainty principle, Schrödinger's cat, entanglement - extremely overwhelming, but still had fun scrolling and watching videos about them. Soon I got burnt out because of how difficult that felt. I did know the usual narrowed-down definition of entropy at that time, but watching videos about it actually kind of got me confused. As if calling it a measure of disorder is a crime lol. But after watching your video and going through that PDF (it's awesome btw, thanks again), maybe it's not that bad of a definition. It actually sounds quite satisfying, looking at the equation. Maybe I'm still confused, someone help me lmao. Of the PDF, I skipped the last question, because I'm lazy, I apologise. Got a few right. Everything suddenly feels crystal clear. Man, I'm so happy right now, hope I got the idea about entropy right this time. You're the man, keep the good work up brother!
Really loved the document put in the description box discussing 5 interesting questions regarding entropy. Hope to have this kinda document as a supplement of your great video in future. You rock brother ♥
How much do you think entropy contributes to the red shift of distant stars? Is there a degradation of the light over time and distance? Is the red shift only because of the Doppler effect? Or is there also a decay of the light source due to entropy?
I think of entropy as a compensation that system pays in terms of energy lost or gained due to disorder or randomness of particles. In another equation, change in entropy is related to change in enthalpy (energy of system) at a certain temperature.
I wasn't too excited by the title of this video until I noticed you would cover what entropy is "like...actually." So few people do the extra work to cover that approach to a subject! 😂😂
Hey Parth, the questions in the assignment is pretty good ...it helps us to clear our concept ......so in the upcoming videos you can give us this assignments....it helps us a lot....😊
Hey Parth, beautifully put. One question: how to define microstates? In your example, microstates are defined by the energy content of each particle. If we swap the energy content of two particles, we get a new microstate, right? Now, what if I swap the real space positions of the two particles but keep their energy content as is? Will I get a new microstate? Will I get a new microstate if I increase the linear velocity of a particle but reduce its rotational velocity in such a way so that the sum of linear+ rotational kinetic energy remains same?
So, particles are not in a box in a probabilistic state, but rather as decay and decomposition, de-featuralization oscillates in grarvitational motion we encounter a sequence limiting to zero (Hawkins) and all matter that entropies out they converge towards a zero/void.
As an alien, the logarithm in the definition of enthropy always cracks me up, because it's sooooo typical for you Earthlings and your obsession with "things"! How so? Well, you could very well have defined entropy as constant times Ω - but there would be a problem: When you combine two systems A and B with numbers of microstates Ωᴬ and Ωᴮ, the combined number of microstates would be Ωᴬᴮ = Ωᴬ × Ωᴮ. Now, you like to imagine entropy as "thing", like energy or mass, and "things" add up when you combine them, rather than multiplying. So, you would very much like to replace the multiplication sign by a plus sign. And to do so, you put a logarithm in front : ln(Ωᴬᴮ) = ln(Ωᴬ) + ln(Ωᴮ). Now, entropy behaves like a thing and you Earthlings are happy.
Nice video. Cleared most of my confusion. Unfortunately raised one as well. As it indicates that we have a constant amount of microstates in an isolated system. Can you please tell me, by this definition why the entropy of the universe must always increase? Thank you in advance.
Perhaps it is some sort of measure of dispersion, for you could arrange the molecules of air in room in a neat repeating uniform way to have the same entropy as an ordinary room full of air where the molecules are randomly placed. Then there is a sort of super-ordered state where the entropy is lower than the random case, even though fully dispersed.
The Kinetic Energy of a gas particle is K.E. = 1/2(mv²), so the energy of a gas particle in box depends on its speed. By chance collisions, individual gas particles may occasionally be bumped to unusually high energy. Parth uses a box with particles that may only have discrete energy levels and indicates that this is a quantum dynamics statistical treatment rather than a thermodynamic statistical treatment.
Hey Parth, I loved the idea of your document and appreciate the effort done in this document. In question 2.1 (b) the no. of microstates is 24, I think you forgot to consider having 1 particle in energy level 4E and 3 particles in energy level E, and by shuffling tem in these two energy levels, you'r gonna have another 4 microstates. So the total no. of microstates should be 24. بالتوفيق ❤
Hi friends! I've just made a video showing you how to count the microstates in a system - this is the most fun part of calculating a system's entropy. Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/3pl_pJQDW4k/w-d-xo.html

Awesome videos and follow ups! Great work, keep it coming!
You are amazing teacher.....
💙💙💙
Can u have more than one definition unless you prove that they are equivalent?
@@saraw8104 Yes if you can at least verify it experimentally. It is not easy to tie the statistical definition to the thermodynamic one..... but a lot of semi-rigorous arguments are possible. (Entropy thermodynamically in the integral of a heat transfer over the temperature as pointed out in the video. Weird! The Greek Ottoman Empire mathematician Caratheodory had a very mathematical justification of this entropy.)

I love your videos
I loved your video on entropy! I had a mathematical understanding of entropy but your video gave me a more intuitive understanding.
Watched youe vid on it too....

I love the fact that you actually explained macroscopic entropy while rolling down the criticism. Appreciate your knowledge and expertise.
thanks for the further explanation. Sounds like you need to make a video on the topic for us neophytes? 🤔
He did state that he was just trying to build an intuition for entropy in this video.
@anton k hello sir may i have your facebook account? I had some questions on physics and cosmology
The video serves its purpose perfectly and - much like Emma Peel (google if you’re too young to recognize the name) - fully deserves a 10. Your suggested improvements would triple the length, losing viewers for minor gain. I’d like to think my opinion is not biased by the Halo Effect of Parth’s compelling personality, but he could make good channel describing grass growing or paint drying.
when he said " we have a box." idk why my brain said "we put a cat in it"
Rather, we killed a cat in it - or did we?
Good one 😂😂
Because you are a quantum mechanics enthusiast
I was like, now let's derive the wave equation of a particle in that box.
😂🤣

Parth: hottest day reaching 35 degrees
me who has gone through the 50 degrees heat in Delhi: u gotta pump those numbers up those are rookie numbers.
😂😂
LOVED THE VIDEO AS ALWAYS. THANKS FOR CONSTANTLY INCREASING MY LOVE FOR PHYSICS.
**Those are rookie numbers**
Yeah, 35°C is great, you're still warmer than the environment. When the cooling breeze becomes a warming breeze and the only way to cool down is by sweating (and praying for low relative humidity) is when you can start bragging about the heat.
Haha our houses in the UK are built for the cold, not for the heat!
@Neko Kotori coz they gotta bring together the nationalists. And wherever there's nationalists there is no reason or logic. Simple
I am in Canada where we can go to -25°C on a regular basis and then we can swing up to 35° in July/August. I have been told by some of our India born citizens whom I work with, that anything over 32-34 in Canada, because of humidity, is more uncomfortable than many summer days in India.
Sounds like Emmy Noether had something to say about entrophy in abstract algebra. Your examples reminds me about symmetries in abstract algebra. But then again symmetry is orderly. 6 probabilities of turning a triangle while it still remains symmetric. Vs 6 ways of arranging your Particles in a 5E box.
Your explanation implies that the universe is actually moving to a lower entropy as it cools down. I actually agree with this!
I'm dealing with this term since 5 years of my study and nobody explain me like this. As always love to learn from you sir. Thankyou
Man I wish my physics textbooks were like your document. Didn't really have a lot of problem solving them after your explanation, don't know if our physics textbooks are at fault or our teachers at school.

Awsome, this is the first time someone explained Entropy this way!
This video got recommended to me and even though i'm in no mood study right now the thumbnail made me chuckle a little bit.
For the first time I actually understood entropy. Thank you so much ❤️
I was badly waiting for the video, but at last it came out 😊
And ............. it was awesome as always .
and I have shared it to all my friends 😁😁😁
Have never seen such a nice explanation of Entropy.
Thats rlly amazing. Unbelivable this golden information is freely available.

Thanks for the document.. It helped me brush up the basics of Stat Mech. ❤️
Well explained brother
Super helpful content🔥
Wouldn't there be one more fundamental "assumption" ie that the microsystem is held motionless in a relatively static position? It seems intuitive that a direction/mass/velocity would also produce a bias or different effect since each part of the system affects every other part. If this is the case, then to really be useful maybe assume that your relative position is not static since universally this cannot really be true. Maybe assume you do have direction/velocity/mass and you must assign a value? Just pondering these things. Physics is fun maybe because there's so much to learn.
wow, that's so amazing. You explained so nicely that anyone can understand physics. Thank you :)
'Fun physics content' - not a concept when I decided not pursue physics beyond O-Level in 1976.

Hope to have this kinda document as a supplement of your great video in future.
You rock brother ♥
Thanks for putting lot of efforts in making these videos. I like your questions in the document.
Wow 🥺 Too good to be true ..
And yes.... I'm using your document to study 👍👍
That was great. Never had that kind of explanation before.
Entropy is much cooler now than before. Though physics is really cool.
Thanks.
Great and well explained 👍👍
I enjoyed your description of the basics of Entropy.
How much do you think entropy contributes to the red shift of distant stars? Is there a degradation of the light over time and distance? Is the red shift only because of the Doppler effect? Or is there also a decay of the light source due to entropy?
Well done.Very lucid presentation. Please elaborate in some future video how entropy is related to energy unavailable to do useful work.
A well done and lucid explanation.
I think of entropy as a compensation that system pays in terms of energy lost or gained due to disorder or randomness of particles. In another equation, change in entropy is related to change in enthalpy (energy of system) at a certain temperature.
I wasn't too excited by the title of this video until I noticed you would cover what entropy is "like...actually." So few people do the extra work to cover that approach to a subject!
😂😂
Great video, I've enjoyed watching it.
YES! I love the document you made with some questions in it. It really helpful 👌👌👌
man that was so good! TH-cam university strikes again!! Thankyou sir
You know what, you're a life saver! I just understand everything better.
Hey Parth, the questions in the assignment is pretty good ...it helps us to clear our concept ......so in the upcoming videos you can give us this assignments....it helps us a lot....😊
Hey Parth, beautifully put. One question: how to define microstates? In your example, microstates are defined by the energy content of each particle. If we swap the energy content of two particles, we get a new microstate, right?
Now, what if I swap the real space positions of the two particles but keep their energy content as is? Will I get a new microstate? Will I get a new microstate if I increase the linear velocity of a particle but reduce its rotational velocity in such a way so that the sum of linear+ rotational kinetic energy remains same?
So, particles are not in a box in a probabilistic state, but rather as decay and decomposition, de-featuralization oscillates in grarvitational motion we encounter a sequence limiting to zero (Hawkins) and all matter that entropies out they converge towards a zero/void.
Wonderful explanation like always 👏
That was very well explained, coincidentally the formula S=Kb.lnP was told to us by our chem teacher during Solid State. It makes sense now
Amazing content man 🔥
Finally, I understand what Entropy is.
As an alien, the logarithm in the definition of enthropy always cracks me up, because it's sooooo typical for you Earthlings and your obsession with "things"!
How so?
Well, you could very well have defined entropy as constant times Ω - but there would be a problem: When you combine two systems A and B with numbers of microstates Ωᴬ and Ωᴮ, the combined number of microstates would be Ωᴬᴮ = Ωᴬ × Ωᴮ. Now, you like to imagine entropy as "thing", like energy or mass, and "things" add up when you combine them, rather than multiplying. So, you would very much like to replace the multiplication sign by a plus sign. And to do so, you put a logarithm in front : ln(Ωᴬᴮ) = ln(Ωᴬ) + ln(Ωᴮ).
Now, entropy behaves like a thing and you Earthlings are happy.
Beautifully explained 👏
Great explanation. Thanks for the clarification.
hey just wanna say i thoroughly enjoy ur physics vids! you're a really great teacher
Honestly speaking, a very helpful video
Gr8 work bro...document really was helpfull... simply amazing
Nice video. Cleared most of my confusion. Unfortunately raised one as well. As it indicates that we have a constant amount of microstates in an isolated system. Can you please tell me, by this definition why the entropy of the universe must always increase? Thank you in advance.
I love the way you explain it, simple and clear! Thank you.
Thank you! This was really clear and easy to understand 🤗
Perhaps it is some sort of measure of dispersion, for you could arrange the molecules of air in room in a neat repeating uniform way to have the same entropy as an ordinary room full of air where the molecules are randomly placed. Then there is a sort of super-ordered state where the entropy is lower than the random case, even though fully dispersed.
The Kinetic Energy of a gas particle is K.E. = 1/2(mv²), so the energy of a gas particle in box depends on its speed. By chance collisions, individual gas particles may occasionally be bumped to unusually high energy. Parth uses a box with particles that may only have discrete energy levels and indicates that this is a quantum dynamics statistical treatment rather than a thermodynamic statistical treatment.
Hey Parth, I loved the idea of your document and appreciate the effort done in this document.
In question 2.1 (b) the no. of microstates is 24, I think you forgot to consider having 1 particle in energy level 4E and 3 particles in energy level E, and by shuffling tem in these two energy levels, you'r gonna have another 4 microstates. So the total no. of microstates should be 24.
بالتوفيق ❤
@@ParthGChannel sorry, you are right😅. I counted this case twice, the no. Is 20 you are right.
Life changing video. Sincerely.
