Re: [Phys-l] riddle : entropy

[Bernard Cleyet <bernardcleyet@redshift.com>]

I plugged and chugged (I know; very dangerous.  ) and got  0.918

My authority was eq. 4;  fortunately I looked at Figure 4, which 
reminded me to convert ln to log (2) [I'd gotten somewhat less than 0.9.]

bc, knows he doesn't understand entropy even after reading some of

p.s. Another one of these coincidences:  I checked out last week V. 27 
Bell System Tech. J. for Kock's article on microwave metallic delay 
lenses and chanced upon Shannon's famous article *.  Remember I asked 
about polarizability of a disk?

* And a humdinger about dialing behaviour!
