Question

Bosons & Fermions A new type of quantum object has been discovered. When a large collection of these are cooled to almost absolute zero, they are observed to all condense into the same state - the ground state. Select all that are True.

Is this object a Fermion obeying Fermi-Dirac statistics?
Is this object a Boson obeying Bose-Einstein statistics?
Could this object have intrinsic spin 2 hbar?
Would the Schrodinger equation for two of these particles be symmetric with exchange of the two particles?
Could this object have intrinsic spin s = 3/2 hbar?
Would the Schrodinger equation for two of these particles be anti-symmetric with exchange of the two particles?

Answer 1

Only 2,3,4 are true

Step-by-step explanation:

Bosons Particles are particles that condense to the same state. Bosons particle have integral spin like 0 ,
`$\hbar$`,
`2$\hbar`,
`3$\hbar$`, etc. Bosons particles always have asymmetric wave function and there is exchange of particles.

1) It does not obey Fermi_ Dirac statistics

2) It obeys Bose-Einstein statistics

3) The object can have intrinsic spin
`2$\hbar`

4) Yes the Bosons particle is always symmetric with exchange of particles

5) No Bosons particle are symmetric and not asymmetric
