The wall of a house consists of two layers with different thermal conductivity coefficients. The ternpera ture of the outer wall is `T_1` and that of the inuer wall is `T_2`. Temperature variations inside the wall are shown in the figure. What layer, the inner or the outer, has a higher thermal conductivity coefficient?
