STATISTICAL MECHANICS. CANONICAL ENSEMBLE. Please, carefully explain the solution.
The average kinetic energy of hydrogen atoms in a stellar atmosphere in thermodynamic equilibrium, is 1.0 eV.
a) What is the temperature of the atmosphere in degrees Kelvin?
b) What is the ratio of the number of atoms in the second excited state (n = 3) to its number in the base state?
c) Discuss qualitatively if it is to be expected that the number of ionized atoms is much greater or less than their number at n = 3
