The maximum energy in the thermal radiation from a hot source occurs at a wavelength of $$11$$ x $$10-5$$ cm. According to Wien's law, the temperature of the source (on$$ Kelvin $$scale) will be n times the temperature of another source (on$$ Kelvin's $$scale) for which the wavelength at maximum energy is $$5.5$$ x $$10-5$$ cm. The value of n is
