The mean free path of electrons in the gas in a discharge tube is inversely proportional to the pressure inside it. The Crookes dark space occupies half the length of the discharge tube when the pressure is `0.02 mm` of mercury. Estimate the pressure at which the dark space will fill the whole tube.
