In Bose-Kinstein distribution, we consider a system of di ndependent, noninteracting particles of integral spin (Bosons) that have symmetrical wave unction. ENERGY AND PRESSURE OF THE GAS : Consider a prefect Bose-Einstein gas of n bosons. Let these particles be distributed among tates such that there are 7%4,Mg,...7; no. of particles in quantum state whose approximate onstant energies are &, €,...€; ... respectively. For a perfect Bose-Einstein gas, consisting of material particles, the formula for theanost ot (eq. 11 art 6.2) w(t) where g; is measure of degeneracy. Since the gas is ideal, the interaction between the particles is assumed to be negligible so that the energy may be regarded as entirely translational in character. The results thus obtained will be applicable to a monatomic gas. Equation (1) can be written as &; Dea al where, for convenience, we have put D=e*. We know that for particles in a box of ‘normal’ size, the translational energy levels are closely spaced so that we can integrate over phase space instead of summing over particle states.

The deviations due to gas degeneracy ar pressure compared to those due to Van der Waal’ forces and that is why itis not powsible to observe this effect under normal conditions. , a serveneracy for molecular hydrogen : Molecular hydrogen obeys Bose-Einstein statistics tne ettte temperate of hydrogen a atmospheric pressure is 20.8K which isthe lowes ing. teyhich hydrogen can éxist asa gos.

Further, 1 —=0.84x10"?, we conclude that gas degeneracy in the case of molecular hydrogen is small and impossible to be observed. Degeneracy for helium : Helium also obeys Bose-Einstein statistics. For helium molecular weight is two times that of hydrogen, it can exist in gaseous state at much lower temperatures (the boiling point being 4.2K at atmospheric pressure) and the molar volume is 345 c.c. We find 1 = =0.184, D which is appreciable as compared to the case of molecular hydrogen and that is why there is some possibility of observing gas degeneracy in the case of helium. © scanned with OKEN Scanner
