$A$ metal has $9 \times 10^{28}$ conduction electrons per $m^3$ and its resistivity is $1 \times 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m$. If the drift speed of an electron in the metal is $1.6 \times 10^6 \ m/s$,then its mean free path is (mass of electron $= 9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$ and charge of electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$). (in $nm$)
