Calculate the mean free time of an electron having a mobility of 1000cm2/V-s at
300K; also calculate the mean free path (i.e., the distance traveled by an electron
between collisions). Assume mn =0.26m0 in these calculations.
(HINT: Use the relation between the mobility μ, the effective mass m, and the
mean-free-time τ, the electron's thermal velocity vth, and the mean-free-path l
