Find the temperature at which the average thermal kinetic energy is equal to the energy needed to take a hydrogen atom from its ground state to $n = 3$ state. Hydrogen can now emit red light of wavelength $653.1\ nm.$ Because of Maxwellian distribution of speeds, a hydrogen sample emits red light at temperatures much lower than that obtained from this problem. Assume that hydrogen molecules dissociate into atoms.

Consider an excited hydrogen atom in state $n$ moving with a velocity $u(ν << c).$ It emits a photon in the direction of its motion and changes its state to a lower state $m.$ Apply momentum and energy conservation principles to calculate the frequency $ν$ of the emitted radiation. Compare this with the frequency $ν_0$ emitted if the atom were at rest.
