13.13 Application of Bose–Einstein Distribution Law to Photon Gas

We have seen earlier that the three statistics evolved to explain the experimental facts in different fields in order to explain black body radiation and more such phenomena.

Professor S. N. Bose considered the radiation from a black body as photon and Einstein generalized it to describe the energy distribution among physical entity light quanta or photon. The particles have energy distribution not in a continuous manner but in the form of quanta nhv where n is an integer, h is Planck's constant and v is the frequency of radiation. These particles have integral spin having spin angular momenta where = h/2π.

These particles are generally called bosons, examples of which are α ...
