Question

Bosons have symmetrical wave functions. They do not obey ______

(a) Aufbau principle

(b) Pauli’s Exclusion Principle

(c) Hund’s Rule of Maximum Multiplicity

(d) Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle

This question was addressed to me in an interview for job.

My question is based upon Bose-Einstein Distribution in section Quantum Physics of Engineering Physics I

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) Pauli’s Exclusion Principle

The explanation is: The particles that follow Pauli’s Exclusion Principle are defined as Fermions while that don’t are called bosons. Bosons have an integral spin number.
