[References] The vibrational temperature of a molecule prepared in a supersonic jet can be estimated from the observed populations of its vibrational levels, assuming a Boltzmann distribution. The vibrational frequency of CuBr is 9.44×1012 s1, and the ratio of the number of molecules in the n = 1 state to the number in the n = 0 state is 2.59x10 2. Estimate the vibrational temperature under these conditions. (Enter your answer to three significant figures.)
