•• Estimate the mean free path in a metal with a resistivity of 5 μΩ · cm (typical of a good metal at room temperature). Assume a typical metal: one conduction electron per atom, a lattice constant (nearest-neighbor atomic separation) of 0.3 nm, and a Fermi speed of 106 m/s. Give the answer in both nm and lattice constants.
