Artificial System's Temperature

 
Figure 1: Energy Level System of Artificial System

Consider a system which has several energy levels as shown. Expressing energies in cm-1 the diagram shows a doubly degenerate ground state, and 4 excited states.

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 ? (Hint, consider using trial and error.)
