A small object is placed at the center of a large evacuated hollow spherical container. Assume that the container is maintained at $0 K$. At time $t =0$, the temperature of the object is $200 K$. The temperature of the object becomes $100 K$ at $t = t _1$ and $50 K$ at $t = t _2$. Assume the object and the container to be ideal black bodies. The heat capacity of the object does not depend on temperature. The ratio $\left( t _2 / t _1\right)$ is. . . . .
