Figure 1: Energy Level System of Artificial System
Consider a system which has several energy levels as shown. Using a unit system,
and expressing energies in , the diagram shows a doubly degenerate ground state, and 4 excited states.
At 0°K, the partition function is 2. At infinite temperature, the partition function has a certain (obvious) value. What is the temperature (in °K) when the partition function has the value 3.657? (Hint, consider using trial and error.)
