Homework Statement
Consider a system of N distinguishable particles which are distributed across levels with energies 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... The total energy of the system is U. Determine all the possible combinations of the particles in this system and hence determine the total number of microstates of the system.
N = 5
U = 3
The distributions are as follows:
state 0 1 2 3
4 0 0 1 Statistical weight=5, Fermions=0, Bosons=1
3 1 1 0 Statistical weight=20, Fermions=0, Bosons=1
2 3 0 0 Statistical weight=10, Fermions=0, Bosons=1
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I understand the distributions and the statistical weight calculations.
Though how has it been determined that the Fermions in each distributions =0 and the Bosons=1 in each distribution?
Thank you!
