About SN Bose

  • Satyendra Nath Bose was a Bengali mathematician and physicist specializing in theoretical physics.
  • He is best known for his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s, in developing the foundation for Bose statistics and the theory of the Bose condensate.
  • Bose’s numerous scientific papers (published from 1918 to 1956) contributed to statistical mechanics, the electromagnetic properties of the ionosphere, the theories of X-raycrystallography and thermoluminescence, and unified field theory.
  • Bose’s Planck’s Law and the Hypothesis of Light Quanta(1924) led Einstein to seek him out for collaboration.
