2. / Consider the rotational energy level with quantum number J=2. a. How many degenerate states comprise that energy level? How are the populations of the degenerate states related to one another? How are their energies related to one another? b. Write the J=2 term in the partition function in two ways: (1) Enumerating every state individually, and (2) combining them into a single term for the J=2 energy level.
