If $P = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & \alpha & 3 \\ 1 & 3 & 3 \\ 2 & 4 & 4 \end{bmatrix}$ is the adjoint of a $3 \times 3$ matrix $A$ and $|A| = 4$,then $\alpha$ is equal to

In the solid state,$PCl_5$ exists as which of the following?

Two slabs $A$ and $B$ of different materials but of the same thickness are joined end to end to form a composite slab. The thermal conductivities of $A$ and $B$ are $k_1$ and $k_2$ respectively. $A$ steady temperature difference of $12^{\circ} C$ is maintained across the composite slab. If $k_1 = \frac{k_2}{2}$,the temperature difference across slab $A$ is (in $^{\circ} C$)

High purity copper metal is obtained by

The function of a dielectric in a capacitor is

Power radiated by a black body at temperature $T_1$ is $P$ and it radiates maximum energy at a wavelength $\lambda_1$. If the temperature of the black body is changed from $T_1$ to $T_2$, it radiates maximum energy at a wavelength $\frac{\lambda_1}{2}$. The power radiated at $T_2$ is (in $P$)
