Suppose two different states (with no degeneracy so that g1=g2=1) have energies E2=2x10-22 J and E1=0.5x10-22 J. At what temperature will N2 have a population so that the rato of N2/N1=100? Suppose now that the degeneracies are g1=3, g2=2. Is it possible to find a temperature where the population in N2 is larger than N1?
