Question 9 Consider a quantum system comprising two indistinguishable particles which can occupy only three individual-particle energy levels, with energies 81 0, 82 2 and E3 38.The system is in thermal equilibrium at temperature T. (a) Suppose the particles which can occupy an energy level. are spinless, and there is no limit to the number of particles (i) How many states do you expect this system to have? Justify your answer (ii) Make a table showing, for each state of...
