Description

Understanding reversible and irreversible processes in thermodynamics presents a significant challenge for undergraduate physics students in India. The idealized nature of reversible processes often proves difficult to replicate in laboratory settings. In our activity, inspired by the widely recognized demonstration of food colour drops in highly viscous liquids, we provide students with a visual representation accompanied by graphical evidence of reversible process. By manipulating the viscosity of the liquid, we also illustrate irreversible processes within this activity. The analysis of these processes was conducted using the open-source video analysis software "TRACKER," enhancing the comprehensibility and accessibility of our findings.
