    Saha equation

    A formula, derived by the Indian astrophysicist Meghnad Saha (1894-1956) in 1920, that gives the fraction of atoms in each different excited state in a gas in thermal equilibrium at some specified temperature and total density. This in turn predicts the strength of spectral lines.
