Show how the heat capacity of a linear rotor is related to the following sum:

Where the E (J) are the rotational energy levels and g (J) their degeneracy's then go on to show graphically that the total contribution to the heat capacity of a linear rotor can be regarded as a sum of contributions due to transitions 0--71,0--72, 1--72, 1--73, etc. In this way, construct Fig. 17.11 for the rotational heat capacities of a linear molecule.
