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 .

Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the following question . If the heat is exchanged between a hot and cold object, the temperature of the cold object goes on increasing due to gain of energy and the temperature of the hot object goes on decreasing due to loss of energy . The change in temperature continues till the temperatures of both the the object attain the same value . In the process, the cold object gains heat energy and the hot object lose heat energy . If the system of both the object is isolated from the environment by keeping it inside a heat resistance box ( meaning that the energy exchange takes place between the two object only), then no energy can flow from inside the box or come into the box. How will you state the principle briefly ?
