- 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.

- Stars similar to our sun eventually become white dwarfs, in which the hydrogen and helium have fused to form carbon and oxygen. 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. Consider a white dwarf with a mass equal to the sun’s mass (1.99 x 1030 kg) but a radius of only 6.96 x 106 m, which is just 1% of the sun’s present radius.
