Harmonic Potentials and energy state populations

[DanPhysChem]

Hi All - Let's say I have a potential energy surface with two minima, one higher than the other. We will label the higher minima B and the lower minima A. Each potential well can be approximated as a harmonic potential with force constants kA and kB for wells A and B respectively. How small must kB be in terms of kA in order for that state (higher energy) to be the more likely state at temperature T?

Sry to bump my own thread. I'm really dying on this one here, any help is much appreciated.

Is anyone out there? I've yet to get a response to anything I've posted on this site :-(
