Two identical non-interacting particles are in an isotropic harmonic potential. Show that the degeneracies of the three lowest energy levels are:

a) 1, 12, 39 for spin 1/2 (aka fermi)

b)6, 27, 99 for spin 1 (aka bose)

The Attempt at a Solution



Well, I tried counting the states for E_{nl}, noting that no two fermi particles can be in the same state, but two bose particles can be, don't really know where do go from there.

Use S, L, and J.
For instance, S can be 0 or 2 for two spin one bosons with L=0.
This gives six states.
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
