Consider a system of five particles inside a container where the energy levels are evenly spaced. (For instance, the particles could be trapped in a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential.) In this problem, you will consider the allowed states for the system if the particles are identical fermions, identical bosons, or distinguishable particles. ----- Consider these systems at a very high temperature. Speculate how the fermionic system, the bosonic system, and the distinguishable particle systems would differ, and support your stance...
