For a metal at absolute temperature T, with Fermi energy E_F, the occupancy probability is given by:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The occupancy probability for a metal at absolute temperature T with Fermi energy EF is given by the Fermi-Dirac distribution function: f(E)=(1+exp((E-EF)/(kT)))^-1. Substituting the given values, we get f(E)=(1+exp((E-E_F)/(kT)))^-1. Choice C matches this expression while the other choices have different numerical values.
