Three rods of identical area of cross-section and made from the same metal form the sides of an isosceles triangle $ABC$, right angled at $B$. The points $A$ and $B$ are maintained at temperatures $T$ and $\sqrt 2 T$ respectively. In the steady state the temperature of the point C is ${T_C}$. Assuming that only heat conduction takes place, $\frac{{{T_C}}}{T}$ is equal to
