The 3s state of neon (see Figure 10.15) is 16.6 eV above the ground state. (a) Estimate the relative populations of the ground state and the 3s state at T = 293 K. (b) Repeat for T = 150 K. (c) Repeat for T = 600 K. (d) What implications (if any) do your answers for parts (a)–(c) have for the operation of a He-Ne laser at various temperatures?
