Question
what you think is the best definition of entropy and the 2nd law of thermodynamics?
Explain which of the following you believe to be true and justify your belief: The observation of the increase of entropy macroscopically A)can be derived from a classical description the microscopic realm. B)can only be derived from a quantum description of the microscopic realm. C)is absolute and cannot be derived from microscopic considerations. D)is not absolute and cannot be derived from microscopic considerations.Explanation / Answer
the observation of the increase in entropy macroscopically can be derived from a classical description of the microscopic realm.
the word macroscopically describes here classical point of view,as we know entoropy is infinite ,But we have to calculate it for per particle because this is of our purpose and we have approximate result for it.This calculation of entropy per particle fall in classical domain,but entropy whole is microscopical concept.
