Question

What is plasma and Bose Einstein condensate

Open in App
Solution

Plasma:

1. Plasma is considered the fourth state of matter.

2. Plasma is a mixture of electrons and ions.

3. When pressurized gas is heated at a high temperature, its atoms lose their electrons and become ions, this process continues and finally forms a mixture of ions and electrons that is called plasma.

4. When electrons are released from an atom, electromagnetic radiations are emitted that comes under visible range and can be seen in the form of light.

5. Plasma is present in starts, due to which they have their own light.

6. Plasma can be created on earth, by passing an electric current through a pressurized gas For example in tube lights.

Bose-Einstein Condensate:

1. It is another state of matter which is encountered only in quantum level about which you will study in higher classes.

2. Bose-Einstein condensate, or BEC, is one of the best ways to see the weird effects of Quantum Mechanics on a macroscopic scale.

3. In essence, BEC is a state of matter that's composed of weakly interacting bosons at a temperature very near absolute zero! Once this temperature has been reached, most of the bosons occupy the lowest quantum state of the external potential.

4. BEC was first predicted by Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein around 1924.
