Populations. Assume a system with a large number of energy levels with energies

Question

Populations. Assume a system with a large number of energy levels with energies given by ??_??=??0??^2 with ??0=13 meV, where k can take on integer values 1, 2, 3, etc. Assume that each energy level has a degeneracy of ??_??=2???1, i.e. there are 2???1 different states with the same energy ??_??. (A) Draw the energy level diagram for the first three lowest levels. Make sure to include all the states. (B) Calculate the population ratios ??2/??1 and ??3/??1 for a temperature of 100 K, where ??_?? indicates the total population of all energy levels with energy ??_??.

Explanation / Answer

The energy expression is not visible.
If your energy expression is given then use formulae of statistical thermodynamics to solve the question.
