Question
  1. Calculate the proportion of I2 molecules in their basal state, first and second excited state at 25 °C. The wave number is 214.6 cm−1 Hints: Equidistant levels, relation wave numbers and energy y (kT/hc) = 207.226 cm−1

a) At what temperature does the level ν = 1 of I2 have i) half of the population of the basal state, ii) the same population as the basic state?
