Thermal Physics<br />
Modelling strategy<br />
•Use a simple (we’ll use simplest) model of a solid to<br />
understand the distribution of energy between the atoms<br />
IG-10<br />
•Determine probability of particular energy (speed)<br />
distributions<br />
•Use this probability to understand why certain<br />
distributions are VERY unlikely and others a sure bet<br />
•Test microscopic predictions with macroscopic<br />
measurements<br />
