4. In the context of quantum physics, what is the term for the phenomenon where a particle can exist in multiple states simultaneously?

Select the correct option from the following:

1. Superposition
2. Entanglement
3. Quantum tunneling
4. Wave-particle duality

Answer:  Option A – Superposition

Explanation:

• Superposition is a fundamental concept in quantum physics where a particle, such as an electron, can exist in multiple states or positions simultaneously until measured or observed, highlighting the wave-like nature of quantum entities.

5. In quantum physics, which statistical mechanics applies to identical particles with integer spin, allowing an unlimited number of particles to occupy the same quantum state?

Select the correct option from the following:

1. Fermi-Dirac Statistics
2. Maxwell-Boltzmann Statistics
3. Bose-Einstein Statistics
4. Pauli Exclusion Statistics

Answer:  Option C – Bose-Einstein Statistics

Explanation:

• Bose-Einstein Statistics (BES):This applies to bosons, which are particles with integer spin.
• Bosons can occupy the same quantum state, and there is no limit to the number of bosons that can be in a single state.
• This leads to phenomena like Bose-Einstein condensation, where a large number of bosons collectively occupy the same quantum state at very low temperatures.
