Question 8: boltzmann_v1
An electron is trapped using lasers (you don't need to know details about this!). All you need to know is that the electron has 3 states, with energies as follows:
State 1: 6.1 eV
State 2: 6.2 eV
State 3: 6.4 eV
It is in equilibrium with a reservoir at temperature 1106 K.
What is the probability that the electron is in state 1?
(a)
1.63e-28
(b)
7.18e-01
(c)
1.56e-02
(d)
3.33e-01
(e)
2.27e-28
What is the entropy of the electron as the temperature T ?
(a)
9.47e-05 eV/K
(b)
1.10e+00 eV/K
(c)
1.00e+00 eV/K
(d)
5.97e-05 eV/K
(e)
0.00e+00 eV/K
