What Is An Example Of Organized And Disorganized Energy?

laser vs sunshine

Okay, but I’m going to hold you to your question – you mean “energy,” not matter, and you’re talking about the concept of “organization, ” not entropy…
An example of organization in energy would be a laser. A light bulb in a dark room lights the whole room, because the light from it is produced in an electric arc, and that doesn’t impose a lot of restrictions on what frequency or direction on the photons it produces. Kind of like how the muttering of a semi-distant crowd seems much the same from any direction you happen to be from it.
A laser emits photons that are not only of the same frequency, they are in the same phase with each other. This means all the different photons – picture, for this argument, that they are a bunch of little waves – are “waving” in the same way at the same moment with its neighbors.
Obviously that light energy is far more organized that the kind emitted by a light bulb. Did that answer your question?
(UPDATE: never mind me, see the below answer, turns out I need to read up on “entropy” myself. “KTFFG Man” has a more fundamentally informative answer to your question.)

A meteor enters the earth’s atmosphere traveling at a high velocity. It has tremendous energy (kinetic+potential). If you could stop the meteor with a giant spring to store its energy, you could use the energy to do something useful. The kinetic and potential energy of the meteor, the hypothetical stored energy in a spring, are examples of “organized” energy, i.e. energy that is “concentrated” in the sense that you can use that energy to do work.
But instead of capturing the energy in a giant spring, the meteor burns in the atmosphere, converting some of it’s energy into heat. Then it crashes into the ocean, creates some big waves. Now the energy is becoming more disorganized. i.e. it’s getting harder and harder to capture it and turn it into some useful work. But all hope is not lost . . . you could catch some of the energy in the waves if you had the right apparatus. . . but after the waves crash on the shore, it’s getting pretty hopeless. Eventually all the energy of the meteor is lost as random motions of atoms (heat). At that point, you might say the energy is completely disorganized.
The physics concept of ENTROPY is closely associated with the degree of “dis-organization” of energy.
