Popis: We revisit the Saha Ionization Equation in order to highlight the rich interdisciplinary content of the equation that straddles distinct areas of spectroscopy, thermodynamics and chemical reactions. In a self-contained discussion, relegated to an appendix, we delve further into the hidden message of the equation in terms of rate theory. We empoly a pedagogical style appropriate for a course in equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical mechanics.
