If the young's modulus(E), poisson's ratio(v) and density(rho) of gallium arsenide is given how to find its debye temperature

K=c11+c12/2
G=c11-c12/3

Debye temp = (h/k)*(9N/4*3.14*V)^(1÷3)*(2/ut^3+1/ul^3)^(-1/3)

Using E and rho i found out the c11 and c12 and then found out bulk modulus(G) and shear modulus(K) and then the longitudinal velocity(ul) and transverse velocity(ut).. using all these data my value of debye temperature came upto 295K but the actual value should be 360K

c11 and c12 are found using E and v.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
