boltzmann's entropy formula
Boltzmann's entropy formula is a mathematical equation that expresses the relationship between the entropy of a physical system and the number of microstates that are consistent with a given macrostate. It states that the entropy of a system increases as the number of microstates it can occupy increases, and is measured in units of joules per kelvin. The formula is widely used in statistical mechanics and thermodynamics to describe the behavior of gases, liquids, and other complex systems.
