Boltzmann Distribution
The Boltzmann Distribution is a statistical distribution that describes the distribution of particles among different energy states in a system at thermal equilibrium. It shows that particles are more likely to occupy lower energy states than higher ones, with the probability of occupying a state decreasing exponentially with increasing energy.
This distribution is fundamental in statistical mechanics and helps explain various physical phenomena, such as the behavior of gases and the properties of thermodynamic systems. It is named after the Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann, who contributed significantly to the field of statistical physics in the late 19th century.
