Thus, if the mass of the brick is \(M = Nm\) where m is the mass per oscillator, then the predicted specific heat of the brick is \[C \equiv \frac{1}{M} \frac{d Q}{d T} \approx \frac{1}{M} \frac{d E}{d T}=\frac{k_{B}}{m} \quad \text { (specific heat of harmonic oscillators). }\label{23.23}\]

Heat capacity is an extensive property, so it scales with the size of the system. A sample containing twice the amount of substance as another sample requires the transfer of twice as much heat (Q) to achieve the same change in temperature (ΔT).

(As an aside, the calculation of specific heats was one of the great challenges to the theoretical physicists of the late 19th and early 20th century, and eventually led to the introduction of quantum mechanics—but that is another story!)
