To find the ratio of the number of atoms in the 13th excited state to the number in the 11th excited state for a hypothetical atom with energy levels uniformly separated by 1.2 eV at a temperature of 2000 K, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Energy Levels**: The energy levels are uniformly separated by 1.2 eV. Thus, the energy of the nth excited state can be expressed as: \[ E_n = n \cdot 1.2 \, \text{eV} ...
