A physics student makes the statement: 'Object X has a lower thermal capacity than object Y.'
What does this statement mean?
Object X has a lower boiling point than object Y.
Object X has a higher melting point than object Y.
The temperature increase of object X is smaller than that of object Y for the same increase in internal energy.
The temperature increase of object X is greater than that of object Y for the same increase in internal energy.
