Let’s say i have n identical classical non interacting particles and N sites where i can put them in. BUT the total energy is given.
The number of possible states is (N)^n/n!/(n/2)!
Where N^n is the total possibilities to arrange the particles.
We divide it by n! since they are identical.
and the reason we divide by (n/2)! has some thing to do with the fact that the energy is given but I don’t know how.
i whould be very thankful to anyone who can say why (n/2)!
thanks shai
