So there are a total of 0 symmetric spin ((2 3 + ) + (2 + )), and 6 anti-symmetric spin ((2 2 + ) + (2 0 + )). he rotational energy levels increase monotonically with L, so the spin, and the associated degeneracy, must alternate between the symmetric and anti-symmetric values. For the spin degeneracies that would be 6, 0, 6, 0,. hus the ratio of the two separate intensity envelopes is 6/0 3/ b) reating L as a continuous variable gives the expression for the envelope of the series of delta functions in the Raman spectrum. We find the spot where that envelope is a maximum. d (2L + ) exp[ L(L + )ΘR / ] (2 dl 0 (Θ R / )(2L + ) 2 ) exp[ L(L + )Θ R / ] (2L + ) 2 2(/Θ R ) L 2Θ R 3
4 c) For N 2 L he N 2 spectrum in the notes peaks near the 8 th line, which arrises from transitions from the L 7 level. For N 2 L so one expects the rotational Raman spectrum to peak near the 22 nd line. d) Since the two nuclei are two different isotopes they are not identical particles. All 6 nuclear spin are allowed with each of the rotational. he spectrum will evolve smoothly with L. he intensities of the lines will not alternate. Problem 4: Langmuir Isotherm a) he number of ways one can place N identical atoms on M N distinct sites, given that each site can hold no more than one atom is equal to the number of ways of choosing N objects from M when order does not count: M! (M N)!N! b) Z M! exp[ E /k B ] state g n exp[ E n /k B ] exp[nɛ 0 /k B ] (M N)!N! n c) F k B ln Z ln Z Nɛ 0 /k B + M ln M M (M N) ln(m N) + (M N) N ln N + N µ ( ) F N k B [ɛ 0 /k B + + ln(m N) ln N + ] ( ) M N ɛ 0 k B ln N 4
