This Demonstration shows the thermal population of the ground orbital and all the excited orbitals for a gas of
N
free bosons as a function of temperature. The populations according to the classical Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics can also be shown. The temperature is measured in units of Einstein's condensation temperature.
