Is there a relation between these two distributions ?

I can't say its something that these days the detail is familiar to me, being stuff from the dim past, but the Plank distribution is what you get if the particles are in principle indistinguishable. The Boltzmann-Maxwell distribution is when they are in principle distinguishable.

Interesting thing is I first came on this not in Physics but as an exercise in a Statistical Modelling course.

Added Later:
Couldn't resit refreshing my memory about it - it's on page 148-149 of Ross - Probability Models

Thanks
Bill

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
