A system of a particle in a magnetic field has a simple energy-level diagram that looks like this:

a. Write an expression for the partition function Q for the system. Your answer should be given in terms of D, T, and universal constants.


b. Write an expression for the average energy of the system. Your answer should be given in terms of D, T, and universal constants.


c. Calculate the average energy in the high-temperature limit.


d. Calculate the average energy in the low-temperature limit.


e. Write an expression for the ratio of the probabilities of finding the particle in the two states. Your answer should be given in terms of D, T, and universal constants.


f. Calculate the entropy of the particle in the high-temperature limit.
