Inside a certain kind of star there are regions in which approximately one hydrogen atom per million is in the first excited level (n =2). The other atoms can be assumed to be in the n = 1 level. Use this information to estimate the temperature there, assuming that Maxwell-boltzmann statistics are valid. (Hint: in this case the density of states depends on the number of possible quantum states available on each level, which is 8 fro n =2 and 2 for n = 1)
