A glass window pane and a wooden wall panel have the same surface area and thickness, and both experience the same temperature difference between their inside and outside surfaces. The thermal conductivity of glass is greater than the thermal conductivity of wood. Which of the following correctly compares the rate of heat transfer by conduction through the glass pane, \(H_{\text{glass}}\), to that through the wooden panel, \(H_{\text{wood}}\), and provides the correct justification?
