The unavailable energy is given off as microwaves
The unavailable energy is given off as microwaves

The unavailable energy is conducted
The unavailable energy is conducted

The unavailable energy is destroyed

Answer 1

The correct response is:

The unavailable energy is given off as heat.

This aligns with the second law of thermodynamics, which states that energy transformations always lead to some energy being converted into a form that is not usable for doing work, often dissipating as heat.
