Rigid rotor degeneracies

For the rotational partition function, we first consider a linear rigid rotor. The energy levels are Ej = J J + l)ft2/(2/), with J = 0,1,..., and I is the moment of inertia. Each energy level has a degeneracy of mj = 2J + 1. The partition function takes the form... 

Energy Levels and Degeneracies of the Rigid Rotor. The levels and degeneracies for the four rotor types are summarized in Table XVI-1.
