Consider an element that reaches its first excited state by absorption of 384.4 nm light.
a) Determine the energy difference (kJ/mol) between the ground state and the first excited state.
b) If the degeneracies of the two states for the element are g*/g0 = 3, determine N*/N0 at 2070 K.
c) By what percentage does N*/N0 change if the temperature is raised by 20 K?
d) What is N*/N0 at 5610 K?
