Question

A system of four non interacting particles share 6 units of energy. Each particle can accept energy only in 0 or integral units. Take the ground state energy to be 0 and assume that the energy levels are non-degenerate. Represent different possible macro states with the help of an energy level diagram if the particles are a) Distinguishable classical particles b) Indistinguishable spin 0 quantum particles Also give the number of micro states corresponding to each macro state for both the above cases.

Step 1

So, we can distribute the 6 units of energy among the 4 particles in various ways. Here are the possible macro states: 1) One particle has all 6 units of energy, and the other three have 0. This can happen in 4 ways (since there are 4 particles), so there are 4 Show more…
