A system of quantum oscillators at temperature T = 300 K has a certain population in an energy state E = 10-21 J, and another population in a state carrying twice this energy (2E). Given Boltzmann's constant kB ≈ 1.38 × 10-23 J/K, what is the ratio of the number of oscillators in the lower energy state to that in the higher energy state (N(E)/N(2E))?
