As far as I've researched it is infact zero due to the fact that the molecules are indistinguishable from each other, the partition can just be reinserted and the thermodynamic state is the same so it hasnt changed in entropy.

but how do i go about proving entropy change is zero

Homework Statement Calculate entropy change if two equal volumes of gas (1 cm3) at standard temperature and pressure are separated from each other by a partition which is removed to create twice the volume at standard temperature and pressure Homework Equations dS = k.N. dV/V + C/T dT...

Homework Statement Im working on a lab experiment in my undergraduate physics degree requiring the use of a class 4 laser, i need to characterize this in terms of its power, coherence, pulse duration, wavelength and irradiance. This is a pulsed laser with rough parameters of 1-2J pulse energy...

Thats a good link but doesn't explain the significance of the areas of the umbra and penumbra areas shamefully...

Can anyone explain the significance of the umbra and penumbra areas?

Ive just spoken to a friend that used photoshop and the lasso tool to outline the areas then using one of the options it will give a pixel count. i can understand how this will give me the area, and thus the ratio, but not how i could quantify any errors in this calculation.. Thanks for the reply

Didnt know if this is the write palce to put this, but I am stuck on this assingment and i think it must have an easy solution so if someone could point me in the right direction then it would be much appreciated. Homework Statement Using an appropriate software package, quantify the...

Ok, didnt realize that equation, so using those values E = \sqrt{2S\mu c} ? Therefore E = 119959.9933 V m^-1 ? H = E/c\mu ? Therefore H = 318.4160428 A m^-1 ? I tried to confirm the equations using dimensional analysis: E = V m^-1 mu= kg·m·s−2·A−2 C = m S^-1 S = J s^-1 m^-2 I can't get that...

for fear of asking the obvious, S being?

Sorry, i mean to say i don't know how i would get H B or E. i can see easily how with any of the variables allows the other for calculation but I am at a loss to get any.

Bu then HHow do i calculate H?
