Answer to Question #281839 in Mechanical Engineering for john luvis

Question

Thermal energies for nucleons in large nuclei are comparable with their

binding energies of about 6 MeV.

(a) To what temperature does this correspond?

(b) Within nuclear matter, identical nucleons are separated by about 2.6 ×

10^−15 m. What is roughly the minimum temperature needed for them

not to be degenerate (i.e., for the number of accessible states to be much

larger than the number of particles.)?
