This physics image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with
{{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “Ergodic hypothesis w reflecting rays.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter. |

Summary
| Description |
English: Rays bounding off a truly smooth surface (a) do not satisfy the ergodic hypotheses, as one would expect of rays under the ergodic hypothesis (b). The impossibility of creating a 'tunnel' that uses reflections to create an imbalance in the particle density between (c) and (d) is a cornerstone of classical thermodynamics. |
