Answer:

1.The above wave is a longitudinal wave, sound wave to be precise.

2. Concerning the labelling, the arrow at the top left corner is the RAREFACTION, the arrow at the top right corner is the COMPRESSION, the two arrows joined together depicts the WAVELENGTH. The horizontal arrow below is the DIRECTION OF THE WAVE.
