Bose-einstein statistics is always a great word to know.
So is electromagnetic wave. Does it mean:
the direct effect that one kind of particle has on another in inducing the emission or absorption of one particle by another
a wave produced by the acceleration of an electric charge and propagated by the periodic variation of intensities
