Professor Whitney has a sample of lead and a sample of iron. The samples have equal mass. When Whitney heats the samples, the lead reaches a higher temperature than the iron, even though both samples absorbed the same amount of thermal energy. What can Whitney conclude from this experiment?

Iron radiates energy faster than lead. Iron has higher heat conductivity than lead.
