Using gives the electron-acoustic recoil lengthThe temperature ratio therefore fixesIt follows that , and . Substitution givesThe resulting Fermi energy is about and the temperature ratio is indeed . These values follow from the supplied effective sound speed and free-electron/Debye approximations; they are not independent precision measurements of copper's parameters.
