Two solid spheres of radii $R_1$ and $R_2$ are made of the same material and have similar surfaces. The spheres are raised to the same temperature and then allowed to cool under identical conditions. Assuming the spheres to be perfect conductors of heat,the ratio of their initial rates of cooling is:

  • A
    $R_1^2 / R_2^2$
  • B
    $R_1^4 / R_2^4$
  • C
    $R_2^3 / R_1^3$
  • D
    $R_2 / R_1$
