Which of the following is considered to be the fifth state of matter? |
Bose-Einstein condensate Plasma Solid Gas |
Bose-Einstein condensate |
The correct answer is option 1. Bose-Einstein condensate. The fifth state of matter, known as Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), is a unique and fascinating form of matter that occurs at extremely low temperatures close to absolute zero (approximately -273.15 degrees Celsius or 0 Kelvin). This state of matter was first predicted by Albert Einstein and Indian physicist Satyendra Nath Bose in the 1920s based on the principles of quantum mechanics. |
