The density of copper is 8.96 gm/cm3, and its atomic weight is 63.5 gm/mole.

(a) Calculate the Fermi energy for copper (Equation 5.43). Assume q = 1, and give your answer in electron volts.

(b) What is the corresponding electron velocity? Hint: Set . Is it safe to assume the electrons in copper are nonrelativistic?

(d) Calculate the degeneracy pressure (Equation 5.46) of copper, in the electron gas model.
