Microstates and macrostates<br />
There are 15 microstates.<br />
IG-10<br />
Each microstate is a way to distribute the energy.<br />
All microstates belong to the same macrostate.<br />
The macrostate has 4 quanta of energy.<br />
The 4-quanta macrostate can also be categorised into types:<br />
•(4,0,0) type 400<br />
•(2,1,1) type 211<br />
•(3,1,0) type 310<br />
•(2,2,0) type 220<br />
Which type is most likely to occur?<br />
