How much energy is required to cause an electron in hydrogen to move from the n = 1 state to the n = 2 state? (b) If the electrons gain this energy by collision between hydrogen atoms in a high - temperature gas, find the minimum temperature of the heated hydrogen gas. The thermal energy of the heated atoms is given by 3kBT/2, where kB is the Boltzmann constant.
Due to the presence everywhere of the cosmic background radiation, the minimum possible temperature of a gas in interstellar or intergalactic space is not 0 K but 2.7 K. This implies that a significant fraction of the molecules in space that can be in a lowlevel excited state may, in fact, be so. Subsequent de-excitation would lead to the emission of radiation that could be detected. Consider a (hypothetical) molecule with just one possible excited state. (a) What would the excitation energy have to be for 25% of the molecules to be in the excited state? (b) What would be the wavelength of the photon emitted in a transition back to the ground state?
