Bose–Einstein statistics - 100th year
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.
