An $AC$ source of angular frequency $\omega$ is connected across a resistor $R$ and a capacitor $C$ in series. The current registered is $I$. If the frequency of the source is changed to $\omega/3$ (maintaining the same voltage),the current in the circuit is found to be halved. Calculate the ratio of reactance to resistance at the original frequency $\omega$.
