Solution

  1. _________ wavelength A. the distance from one crest of a wave to the next
  2. _________ frequency B. waves that transmit energy through matter or empty space
  3. _________ wave C. the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
  4. _________ electromagnetic wave D. a disturbance that transmits energy
  5. _________ radiation E. the number of crests of a wave that pass a certain point in a given amount of time

Step-by-step matching:

  1. wavelength: The definition is "the distance from one crest of a wave to the next," which corresponds to A.
  2. 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.
  3. wave: The definition is "a disturbance that transmits energy," which corresponds to D.
  4. electromagnetic wave: The definition is "waves that transmit energy through matter or empty space," which corresponds to B.
  5. radiation: The definition is "the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves," which corresponds to C.

So, the correct matches are:

  1. wavelength A
  2. frequency E
  3. wave D
  4. electromagnetic wave B
  5. radiation C
