Question: In Eq. 41-6 let E EF = E = 1.00eV. (a) At what temperature does the result of using this equation differ by 10%

In Eq. 41-6 let E – EF = ∆E = 1.00eV.
(a) At what temperature does the result of using this equation differ by 10% from the result of using the classical Boltzmann equation P(E) = e–∆E/kT (which is Eq. 41-1 with two changes in notation)?
(b) At what temperature do the results from these two equations differ by 10%?
