Answer 1

Here are the answers to your questions:

1. Waves carry:
- **Energy**

2. What type of wave requires a medium in which to travel?
- **Mechanical**

3. The height of the wave is called:
- **Amplitude**

4. Sound waves:
- **All of the above** (sound waves are longitudinal, mechanical, and require a medium)

5. Sound waves travel fastest through:
- **Steel** (solid materials generally allow sound waves to travel faster compared to liquids and gases)

For labeling the waves, without images I can’t provide exact labels for points A, B, C, D. However, here’s what they commonly correspond to in wave diagrams:

For the first wave (assuming it's a transverse wave):
- **A:** Crest
- **B:** Trough
- **C:** Wavelength (distance from crest to crest, or trough to trough)
- **D:** Amplitude (height from the rest position to the crest or trough)

For the second wave (assuming it's a longitudinal wave):
- **A:** Compression (the area of the wave where particles are closer together)
- **B:** Rarefaction (the area of the wave where particles are spread apart)
- **C:** Wavelength (the distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions)

If you have specific labels you can give me, I could provide a more tailored answer!
