Evaluate the temperature at which there 1 % probability that a state with an energy 0.5 the eV above Fermi energy will be occupied by an electron.
At room temperature T is about 300 K. Find the probability that an energy state E that is 0.50 eV above the Fermi level (E-EF = 0.50 eV) is occupied at room temperature.

Estimate the probability that a hydrogen atom at room temperature is in one of its first excited states (relative to the probability of being in the ground state). Don't forget to take degeneracy into account. Then repeat the calculation for a hydrogen atom in the atmosphere of the star $\gamma$ UMa, whose surface temperature is approximately $9500 \mathrm{K}$.
