The thermal energy transfer has its dependency on distance, speed and temperature of particles. Hence, the statements (b),(c) and (f) are applicable to thermal energy transfer.
Conduction is that mode of heat transfer in which there is a relative motion between the two solid atomic interface. This cause the thermal energy exchange between the two interface.
(a)
The thermal energy transfer during the conduction is only possible efficiently with the direct contact between the particles. Therefore, the statement "Thermal energy is transferred between particles that are not touching each other" is not applicable.
(b)
As discussed above that thermal energy transfer takes place effectively with direct point-to-point contact between the particles. Therefore, the statement "Thermal energy is transferred between particles that are in direct contact with each other" is applicable.
(c)
Thermal energy has tendency to flow from higher temperature to lower temperature body. Obviously, it favors the variable temperature property of body. Therefore the statement," Thermal energy is transferred between objects of different temperatures" is applicable.
(d)
On contrast with the above explanation, the statement "Thermal energy is transferred between objects of the same temperature" is not applicable.
(e)
Higher the speed of particles, more will be the collision frequency and more energy is released in the form of heat. Hence, thermal energy is transferred from fast-moving particles to slow-moving particles. Thus, the statement "Thermal energy is transferred from slow-moving particles to fast-moving particles" is not applicable.
(f)
On contrast with the above explanation, the statement "Thermal energy is transferred from fast-moving particles to slow-moving particles" is applicable.
Thus, we can conclude that the thermal energy transfer has its dependency on distance, speed and temperature of particles. Hence, the statements (b),(c) and (f) are applicable to thermal energy transfer.
