8. c). The final expression for the density of incoming electrons, ν=ΔE/π, is reproduced by multiplying both expressions and taking into account the density in k space, 1/2π, and a factor 2 for the spin. A similar demonstration, within the language of the second quantization applied to wave packets, can be found on page 16 of reference;
