.When an object such as a stone is dropped into water, it disturbs the surface of the water. Waves form at the surface of the water and travel outward from the point of the disturbance. The diagram below is based on a single frame from a video of the waves that formed when a stone was dropped into water. It a student were to measure the distance labeled as "Z," she would know the value of the
_ of the wave.
(1 point)
• wavelength
• frequency
• radius
• amplitude

GPT-4o mini · Answer

In the context of waves, the distance labeled as "Z" likely refers to a measurement related to the wave characteristics. Based on the options provided, if "Z" is representing the distance between two consecutive wave crests (or troughs), then it would refer to the wavelength of the wave.

So, the correct answer is:

wavelength
