A monoatomic ideal gas, initially at temperature $T_{1}$ , is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a frictionless piston. The gas is allowed to expand adiabatically to a temperature $T_{2}$ by releasing the piston suddenly. If $L_{1}$ and $L_{2}$ are the lengths of the gas column before and after expansion respectively, then $\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}$ is given by
