In an atom, two electrons move around the nucleus in circular orbits of radii $R$ and $4R.$ The ratio of the time taken by them to complete one revolution is : (neglect electric interaction)

$\sqrt{d_{1}}$ and $\sqrt{d_{2}}$ are the impact parameters corresponding to scattering angles $60^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ respectively, when an $\alpha$ particle is approaching a gold nucleus. For $d_{1}=x d_{2}$, the value of $x$ will be ________
