Seismic... so Fastest to Slowest: P,S,Love,Rayleigh(including Stoneley which is high a Amplitute Rayleigh wave I believe)

Since the asker has not returned to confirm the accuracy of your answer and it seems like you are correct, feel free to ask a question.
Source: "P-waves are the first waves to arrive on a complete record of ground shaking because they travel the fastest"
"Secondary, or S waves, travel slower than P waves"
"Rayleigh waves are the slowest of all the seismic wave types and in some ways the most complicated"

Alright, I wish I had a better question to ask, but I just want to get this marathon rolling, so:
What is the Doppler effect?

The Doppler effect is the apparent change in the frequency of a wave due to the relative movement of the source.

Yep, your turn.

Explain how light can be polarized by means of refraction.

A beam of light enters a medium, polarizing to some degree. The beams then leave the medium and change direction again, so you have two split parallel beams of light.

List each kind of wave on the electromagnetic spectrum from low to high wavelength.
