Question
Match each word with its correct definition by writing the letter on the line. _________ wavelengthA. the distance from one crest of a wave to the next _________ frequencyB. waves that transmit energy through matter or empty space _________ waveC. the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves _________ electromagnetic wave D. a disturbance that transmits energy _________ radiation E. the number of crests of a wave that pass a certain point in a given amount of time
Solution
- _________ wavelength A. the distance from one crest of a wave to the next
- _________ frequency B. waves that transmit energy through matter or empty space
- _________ wave C. the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
- _________ electromagnetic wave D. a disturbance that transmits energy
- _________ radiation E. the number of crests of a wave that pass a certain point in a given amount of time
Step-by-step matching:
- wavelength: The definition is "the distance from one crest of a wave to the next," which corresponds to A.
- frequency: The definition is "the number of crests of a wave that pass a certain point in a given amount of time," which corresponds to E.
- wave: The definition is "a disturbance that transmits energy," which corresponds to D.
- electromagnetic wave: The definition is "waves that transmit energy through matter or empty space," which corresponds to B.
- radiation: The definition is "the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves," which corresponds to C.
So, the correct matches are:
- wavelength A
- frequency E
- wave D
- electromagnetic wave B
- radiation C
