Substance A has twice the specific “heat” as substance B. Suppose we put 100-g blocks of these substances in direct sunlight. Assume both blocks are black and present the same surface area to the incoming sunlight. After a certain period of time, how are the temperature changes ?TA and ?TB of these blocks related (assuming they lose little heat to their surroundings)?
A. ?TA ? 2?TB
B. ?TA ? ?TB, as both receive the same amount of energy
C. ?TB ? 2 ?TA
D. ?TA = ?TB = 0, because neither receives any heat
C. ?TB ? 2 ?TA
