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

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.
