Two identical plates $P$ and $Q$,radiating as perfect black bodies,are kept in vacuum at constant absolute temperatures $T_P$ and $T_Q$,respectively,with $T_Q < T_P$,as shown in Fig. $1$. The radiated power transferred per unit area from $P$ to $Q$ is $W_0$. Subsequently,two more plates,identical to $P$ and $Q$,are introduced between $P$ and $Q$,as shown in Fig. $2$. Assume that heat transfer takes place only between adjacent plates. If the power transferred per unit area in the direction from $P$ to $Q$ (Fig. $2$) in the steady state is $W_S$,then the ratio $\frac{W_0}{W_S}$ is $.....$
