A population inversion for two energy levels is often described by assigning a negative Kelvin temperature to the system. What negative temperature would describe a system in which the population of the upper energy level exceeds that of the lower level by 10% and the energy difference between the two levels is 2.26 eV?
For a K*- CH ion pair, attractive and repulsive energies EA and ER, respectively, depend on
the distance between the ions r, according to
5.8 x 10-6

EA
and ER
For these expressions, energies are expressed in electron volts per K*- CH pair, and r is the
distance in nanometers.
a) If the net energy EN is just the sum of the two expressions above: EN = E, + ER, Find the
values of ro and E, ?
b) If curves of E, ER, and EN are
plotted in given figure, compare
the calculated values of ro and
E, with that from the graph.
