Detailed Solution

Reduction potential of SHE is zero and that of Copper electrode is positive ( +0.36V), when the 2 electrodes are combined to make a cell, the electrode with smaller reduction potential will acts as anode and electrode with higher reduction potential will acts as cathode.
Hence, SHE acts as anode and Copper electrode acts as cathode.
At anode oxidation and at cathode reduction takes place.
