Homework Statement
Starting from the barometric formula for a thin, isothermal atmosphere, show that the ratio of the pressure P(z2) at height z2 to the pressure P(z1) at height z1 is given by
P(z2)/P(z1) = e(-(z2-z1)/y) where y is the scale height
Homework Equations
Barometric formula: P(z) =P(0) e(-z/y)

looks easy but i just can see how?
