Problem 6.131

A beam of light of frequency ω\omega, equal to the resonant frequency of transition of atoms of gas, passes through that gas heated to temperature T.T . In this case ωkT.\hbar \omega \gg k T . Taking into account induced radiation, demonstrate that the absorption coefficient of the gas xx varies as x=x0(1eω/kT),x=x_{0}\left(1-\mathrm{e}^{-\hbar \omega / k T}\right), where x0x_{0} is the absorption coefficient for T0T \rightarrow 0
