Explanation:

To solve the matching pairs, we use the definitions of wave properties:

• Wavelength: Defined as the distance between two adjacent crests (or troughs) of a wave. So "Wavelength" matches "Distance from a crest to the next adjacent crest."
• Amplitude: The maximum displacement of a point on the wave from its rest position. So "Amplitude" matches "Distance from rest position to a crest position."
• Speed: The distance traveled by a point on the wave per unit time. So "Speed" matches "The distance traveled by a point on the wave per unit of time."
• Frequency: The number of cycles (oscillations) per unit time (usually per second, measured in hertz). So "Frequency" matches "The number of back and forth cycles per second."

Answer:

• Wavelength ↔ Distance from a crest to the next adjacent crest.
• Amplitude ↔ Distance from rest position to a crest position.
• Speed ↔ The distance traveled by a point on the wave per unit of time.
• Frequency ↔ The number of back and forth cycles per second.
