Answer

$n = 1.79 \times 10^{29} m^{-3}$

Work Step by Step

From the Fermi Energy Equation $E_F = An^{2/3}$ Rearrange the equation $n = [\frac{E_F}{A}]^{3/2} $ Where $E_F = 11.6eV$ and $A = 3.65 \times 10^{-19} m^2.eV$ Solve for n $n = [\frac{11.6eV}{3.65 \times 10^{-19} m^2.eV}]^{3/2} $ $n = 1.79 \times 10^{29} m^{-3}$
