A small object is placed at the centre of a large evacuated spherical container maintained at 0 K. The object's temperature falls from 200 K at t=0 to 100 K at t₁ and to 50 K at t₂. Assume both object and container are ideal black bodies and the object's heat capacity is temperature-independent. Find t₂/t₁.
