Homework Statement
"Two non-interacting particles are placed in a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential. What are the degeneracies of the two lowest energy states of the system if the particles are
a)identical spinless bosons
b)identical spin-1/2 fermions?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I think degeneracy is equal to n^2
for b) two fermions can be in the same spatial state if they are in different spin states. one would be in spin up and spin down so this would affect the degeracy. Apart from that..I'm not sure
