A particle which has an integral value of angular momentum (in units of
h/2π) will not obey the Pauli exclusion principle. This type of particles (e.g.
a photon, an alpha particle) is known as boson. There is no restriction on
the number of such particles may occupy a given energy state.

This integral is difficult to evaluate exactly, but in most practical cases the
value of A is sufficiently small to allow the term unity in the denominatotr
to be ignored. When this condition is satisfied, the distribution will
approximate to the M-B distribution.

For 4He gas that is confined in a volume V and at the pressure of 1 atm,
the values of parameter A depend on the values of temperature T:

In photon gas, there are two independent directions of polarization of
electromagnetic wave, the number of allowed modes is therefore doubled.
