What is the Fifth state of matter?
Answers
☛The Fifth state of matter is Bose-Einstein Condensate. (BEC)
☛In 1920, Indian physicst Satyendra Nath Bose has suggested fifth state of matter on the basis of certain calculations.
☛On the basis of his calculations, Albert Einstein proposed a new state of matter called The Bose- Einstein Condensate (BEC).
☛The BEC state is formed by cooling a gas of extremely low density, about one-hundred-
thousandth the density of normal air to super low temperatures.
☛In 2001, Eric A. Cornell, W. Ketterle and Carle E. Wieman of USA recevied a noble prize for achieving "Bose-Einstein Condensation."
Answer:
In 1924, Albert Einstein and Satyendra Nath Bose predicted the "Bose–Einstein condensate" (BEC), sometimes referred to as the fifth state of matter. In a BEC, matter stops behaving as independent particles, and collapses into a single quantum state that can be described with a single, uniform wavefunction.
