Why does a metal bar appear hotter than a wooden bar at the same temperature? Equivalently it also appears cooler than wooden bar if they are both colder than room temperature.
Answers (1)
The rate of transferring heat in metal is larger than that in wood, as the conductivity of the metal bar is extremely high as compared to the wood.
Also, metal requires exceedingly small quantities of heat than wood to change temperature as the specific heat of metal is exceptionally low as compared to the wood.
Thus, due to larger conductivity and smaller specific heat metal becomes colder and hotter than wood when kept in cold and hot regions, respectively.
