Problem 1:
Estimate the probability that a hydrogen atom at room temperature is in one of its first
excited states (relative to the probability of being in the ground state). Don't forget to
take degeneracy into account. Then repeat the calculation for a hydrogen atom in the
atmosphere of the star y UMa, whose surface temperature is approximately 9500K.
Starting from equation 7.83 attached, derive a formula for the density of states of a photon gas (or any other gas of ultrarelativistic particles having two polarization states). Sketch this function.
