The vibrational temperature of a molecule prepared in a
supersonic jet can be estimated from the observed popula-
tions of its vibrational levels, assuming a Boltzmann distri-
bution. The vibrational frequency of HgBr is 5.58 × 1012 s-1,
and the ratio of the number of molecules in the n = 1 state
to the number in the n = 0 state is 0.127. Estimate the vibra-
tional temperature under these conditions.
