The temperature needed to excite the hydrogen atoms to first
excited level is:

(Boltzman constant = 1.381 × 10^-23 J/K)

Show answer and solution
According to kinetic interpretation of temperature, the average
kinetic energy per atom

[IMAGE] Energy required to excite the atoms to first excited state is

[IMAGE] 10.2 × 1.6 × 10^-19

T = 7.88 ´ 10^4 K
