disorder

Examples of disorder in the following topics:

• Order to Disorder

  • Entropy is a measure of disorder, so increased entropy means more disorder in the system.
  • Entropy is a measure of disorder.
  • These three results—entropy, unavailability of energy, and disorder—are not only related but are in fact essentially equivalent.
  • When ice melts, it becomes more disordered and less structured.
  • Entropy is a measure of disorder.

• Medical Imaging and Diagnostics

  • Radiation therapy uses ionizing radiation to treat conditions such as hyperthyroidism, cancer, and blood disorders.
  • Radiation therapy involves the application of ionizing radiation to treat conditions such as hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, and blood disorders.

• Therapeutic Uses of Radiation

  • Radiation therapy uses ionizing radiation to treat conditions such as hyperthyroidism, cancer, and blood disorders.
  • Radiation therapy involves the application of ionizing radiation to treat conditions such as hyperthyroidism, thyroid cancer, and blood disorders.

• Stastical Interpretation of Entropy

  • According the second law of thermodynamics, disorder is vastly more likely than order.
  • Disorder is simply vastly more likely than order.
  • So even if you start with an orderly state, there is a strong tendency to go from order to disorder, from low entropy to high entropy.
  • Disorder is highly likely.
  • The fantastic growth in the odds favoring disorder that we see in going from 5 to 100 coins continues as the number of entities in the system increases.

• What is Entropy?

  • The entropy of a system is a measure of its disorder and of the unavailability of energy to do work.
  • By examining it, we shall see that the directions associated with the second law—heat transfer from hot to cold, for example—are related to the tendency in nature for systems to become disordered and for less energy to be available for use as work.
  • The entropy of a system can in fact be shown to be a measure of its disorder and of the unavailability of energy to do work.

• Adiabatic Processes

  • In the second step, thermal energy in the gas is used to cause disorder of magnetic moments.

• Paramagnetism and Diamagnetism

  • Some paramagnetic materials retain spin disorder at absolute zero (meaning they are paramagnetic in the ground state).

• Diffraction Gratings: X-Ray, Grating, Reflection

  • From this electron density, the mean positions of the atoms in the crystal can be determined, as well as their chemical bonds, their disorder and various other information.
