Define bose Einstein condensate.
Answers
In a gas, each atom has its own energy and is able to move freely, when these atoms are bosons, they are allowed to have the same energy at the same time. when the gas is cooled down the atoms slowdown and their energies decrease because of their Quantum nature, the atoms behave of wave that increase in size as temperature decreases. At very low temperature, the size of the wave become larger than the average distance between two atoms.
Then at this very low temperature, all the bonds are able to be at the very same energy in the same Quantum state. they all form a single collective Quantum wave called bose-einstein Condensate.
Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) is a state of matter that consists of a collection of atoms near absolute zero; all the atoms have the lowest possible Quantum energy state.
More to know -
• if plasmas are super hot, and super excited atoms, the atoms in a bose-einstein condensate (BEC) all total opposites. they are super unexcited and super cold atoms.
