Consider a system consisting of a single hydrogen atom/

Chapter 7, Problem 3P

(choose chapter or problem)

Consider a system consisting of a single hydrogen atom/ ion, which has two possible states: unoccupied (i.e., no electron present) and occupied (i.e., one electron present, in the ground state). Calculate the ratio of the probabilities of these two states, to obtain the Saha equation , already derived in Section 5.6. Treat the electrons as a monatomic ideal gas, for the purpose of determining \(\mu\). Neglect the fact that an electron has two independent spin states.
