a . A nucleus can be described as a Fermi-Dirac ensemble of nucleons. The degeneracy factor in this case is 4, which accounts for the isospin quantum number (proton, neutron) as well as the spin (1/2). The radius of a large nucleus scales as R=1.1A/3fm where A is the atomic mass number and R is given in femtometers. Find the corresponding Fermi energy and determine whether the nucleons are relativistic.
