Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of equal masses,surface area,and emissivity are cooling under Newton's law of cooling from the same initial temperature. Their cooling curves are represented by the graph. If $\theta$ is the instantaneous temperature of the body and $\theta_0$ is the temperature of the surroundings,then the relationship between their specific heats $S_A$ and $S_B$ is:

  • A
    $S_A = S_B$
  • B
    $S_A > S_B$
  • C
    $S_A < S_B$
  • D
    None of these
