The second law of thermodynamics says that whenever energy is converted from one form to another in a physical or chemical change, . matter is not created nor destroyed

the second form of energy will always be kinetic

some matter is lost to the surrounding environment

some high-quality energy is converted into low-quality energy

energy is lost as electromagnetic waves

Based on the observation that only male crickets produce a song, you hypothesize that a male's song is a form of communication to potential mates. you set up a simple experiment to test this hypothesis. in the laboratory, you place a male snowy tree cricket in enclosure a, which is adjacent to enclosureb. in enclosure b, you place other insects, one at a time, and observe their responses to the male's song. the enclosures are designed so that the two insects being tested cannot see or smell each other, but sound is transmitted from enclosure a to enclosureb.
