A glass tube contains 2 x 10 11 atoms, some of which are in the ground state

Question:

A glass tube contains 2 x 1011 atoms, some of which are in the ground state and some of which are excited. Figure Q29.22 shows the populations for the atoms' three energy levels. Is it possible for these atoms to be a laser? If so, on which transition would laser action occur? If not, why not?
