Two circular discs $A$ and $B$ with equal radii and equal mass are blackened. They are heated to the same temperature and are cooled under identical conditions. What inference do you draw from their cooling curves?

  • A
    $A$ and $B$ have the same specific heats.
  • B
    Specific heat of $A$ is less.
  • C
    Specific heat of $B$ is less.
  • D
    Nothing can be said.
