Homework Statement


use E_m=1/n (E)p(E)dE integral from 0 to Infinity
to derive E_m=3/5(E_f)


Homework Equations


n= p(E)dE integral from 0 to infinty
also n=Q*sqrt(E)dE integarl from 0 to (E_f)
p(E)=Q*sqrt(E)/(e^(E-E_f)+1)


The Attempt at a Solution


i tried doing integration by parts on it and moving stuff around but i can't seem to get it , is there a trick in using that the integral from o to infinty of p(E)dE = 0

Please learn to use the latex command here. Otherwise most people won't understand what you are saying and won't help you. I can't even understand half of what you typed out.

scroll about half way down the page and you will see
total energy of a Fermi sphere , how do i show that , that integral turns into
3/5(Energy)
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
