(a) How much energy is required to cause an electron in hydrogen to move from the n = 2 state to the n = 5 state? in J(b) Suppose the atom gains this energy through collisions among hydrogen atoms at a high temperature. At what temperature would the average atomic kinetic energy 3/2 * kBT be great enough to excite the electron? Here kB is Boltzmann's constant. in K

The population ratio between two energy levels ni nj separated in energy by: A E = E₁ - Ej with AE = 1.1×10-22 J is 0.84. That is: ni = 0.84 with AE = 1.1×10-22] nj Remember the Boltzmann equation for the population of particles in state i with energy Ei at temperature T is: N n₁ = = e Z What is the temperature of the system (use two sig figs)? 4.0 ✓ K
