Determine the number of conduction electrons in a 10.5 ✕ 10−6 kg sample of silver that have an energy between the range of 5.800 eV and 5.834 eV. The density of silver is 10.5 ✕ 103 kg/m3.
How can you determine the number of allowed states per unit volume that have energies between E and E + dE? See if you can find a way to express the number of conduction electrons in terms of the volume of the sample, the number of allowed states per unit volume that have energies between E and E + dE, and the range in energies of interest.
