$A$ 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. $L_1$ and $L_2$ are the lengths of the gas columns before and after the expansion,respectively. The ratio $T_2 / T_1$ is
