Problem 1: Fermi temperature of the sun
At the center of the sun, the temperature is approximately 107K and the concentration of
electrons is approximately 1032 per cubic meter. Would it be (approximately) valid to
treat these electrons as a classical gas (using Boltzmann statistics), or as a degenerate
Fermi gas (with T × 0), or neither?

- An atomic nucleus can be crudely modeled as a gas of nucleons with a number density of 0.18 fm -3(where 1 fm = 10-15m). Because nucleons come in two different types (protons and neutrons), each with spin 1/2, each spatial wavefunction can hold four nucleons. Calculate the Fermi energy of this system, in MeV. Also calculate the Fermi temperature, and comment on the result.arrow_forwardA certain atom has a nondegenerate ground level, a doubly degenerate level at 595 cm¹ and a quadruple degenerate level at 1060 cm-1.

The star has collapsed to a much smaller radius, which is why it is described as a “dwarf.” The electrons are not bound to the nuclei and form a degenerate Fermi gas within the white dwarf.
