Bose–Einstein statistics - 100th year
❖ In 1924, Satyendra Nath Bose, had discovered the correct set of equations to use to work out the behaviour of collections of photons (particles of light). ❖ Albert Einstein translated it to German, and sent it to a journal himself. ❖ This year marks 100 years of Bose’s discovery. ❖ His collaboration with the Albert Einstein had eventually led to postulation of B– E statistics. ❖ It explains how particles distribute themselves in an available energy state. ❖ The Particles which obey B–E statistics principle is referred as “Bosons”, named after S. N Bose.
