Thermal voltage=(K * T)/Q.
K=boltzmann constant=1.38*10 to power -23.
T= Room temperature=300 kelvin.
Q= charge on one electron= 1.6 * 10 to power -19.

Since the answers are given in eV we have to calculate using above formulae.
Answer= ~0.025eV.

Thermal velocity is equal to the product of Boltzman Comtant *temperature/Q
Thermal velocity = T/11600.

At room temp.,
Thermal velocity = 273° + 27°/11600 = 300/11600 = 0.026 volt.
