Verify that the equipartition theory holds by determining the ratio of the population of molecules in the 2nd vibrational energy level relative to the first vibrational energy level. Assume that the temperature is 3,024 K, and that the separation between energy levels is 1 x 10-20 J. Express your answer to three decimal places (X.XXX).

Consider a free Fermi gas in two dimensions, confined to a squarearea A = L2. Because g(€) is a constant for this system, it is possible to carry out the integral 7.53 for the number of particles analytically. Do so, and solve for μ as a function of N. Show that the resulting formula has the expected qualitative behavior.
