Thermal Physics<br />
Which type of macrostate (A, B, C, D)<br />
is most probable?<br />
1) A<br />
2) B<br />
3) C<br />
4) D<br />
5) They’re equally probable<br />
IG-09<br />
NB: over time, all microstates are equally probable!<br />
The most probable type of macrostate is the one with the most # of ways to<br />
exist (A, B, C & D are microstates from particular types of macrostates of<br />
which the B-type macrostate is the most probable)<br />
