Acertain ergodic system can only be in three possible energy states with energy values e1 = 300 kbk, e2 = 600 kbk, e3 = 900 kbk, where kb is the boltzmann constant and k is kelvin (temperature unit). first the energy state is not degenerate. the degeneration of the second energy state is g2 = 2. the degeneration of the third energy state is g3 = 6.
a) determine the probability that the system is in the third energy state of energy e3 at 300 k.
b) determine the mean energy of the system at 600 k.
c) plot the mean energy of the system as a function of temperature between 0 and 2000 k.
