Determine the average kinetic energy per atom due to thermal vibrations in a solid at 1000 K. You can assume that the heat capacity at constant volume for the solid is equal to the classical limit of 3R for all temperatures, and that the material is at constant volume during heating. Express your answer in eV/atom.
