Abstract: Let $p_n$ be the $n$-th orthonormal polynomial on the real line, whose zeros are $lambd{a}_j^{(n)}$, $j=1,\mathrm{...},n$. Then for each $j=1,\mathrm{...},n$, ${\displaystyle }$ vec Psi_j^2 = (Psi_{1j}^2, ..., Psi_{nj}^2) ${\displaystyle }$ with ${\displaystyle }$ Psi_{ij}^2= p_{i-1}^2 (lambda_j^{(n)}) (sum_{k=0}^{n-1} p_k^2(lambda_j^{(n)}))^{-1}, quad i=1, >..., n, ${\displaystyle }$ defines a discrete probability distribution. The Shannon entropy of the sequence $p_n$ is consequently defined as ${\displaystyle }$ mathcal S_{n,j} = -sum_{i=1}^n Psi_{ij}^{2} log (Psi_{ij}^{2}) . ${\displaystyle }$ In the case of Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kinds an explicit and closed formula for $mathcal{S}_{n,j}$ is obtained, revealing interesting connections with the number theory. Besides, several results of numerical computations exemplifying the behavior of $mathcal{S}_{n,j}$ for other families are also presented.
