atoms can occupy only certain discrete energy levels. Consider a gas at a temperature of 2 500 K whose atoms can occupy only two energy levels separated by 1.50 eV, where 1 eV (electron volt) is an energy unit equal to 1.60 × 10-19 J. Determine the ratio of the number of atoms in the higher energy level to the number in the lower energy level.
