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.
