    How Do You Calculate the Average Energy in a Maxwell-Boltzmann System?

    [b]1. Consider a collection of N noninteracting atoms with a single excited state at energy E. Assume the atoms obey the Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics, and take both the ground state and the excited state to be nondegenerate. a.) At temperature T, what is the ratio of the number of atoms in the...
