Homework Statement
A gas of hydrogen atoms has a fraction of atoms found in the n=2 quantum state of 0.05. What is the temperature of the gas?
The Attempt at a Solution
I think the gas molecules have an energy E=5/2kT (rather than E=kT ?? because diatomic gases have 5 degrees of freedom?)
E=Ry(1/n^2)?
not sure how to continue
