Could someone list what kind of materials/phenomena propagate each way...thanks!

Shrike said:You do not need to know this. Either it doesn't matter at all, or the passage gives you what you need. Relax, finsh studying biology, and then go see a movie.
TheDarkSide said:Sorry, but that's just not true. You needed to know it for my PS section, at least.
agree, it was in my form too... good thing it was my lucky guesscodliveroil said:Indeed. The answer to a certain question on my form was something on the order of, "sound is a longitudinal wave, and light is a transverse wave".
And NO, this information was NOT in the passage.
OK, could one you who saw something like this on the test please PM me as much about the question as you remember? Don't post the details, as that's verboten.TheDarkSide said:Sorry, but that's just not true. You needed to know it for my PS section, at least.

HistoRocks said:Metals conduct electricity well. So I'm guessing it would be a question of what kind of wave - transverse or longitudinal - is an electromagnetic wave? I haven't had physics II yet, so the rest of the answer is beyond me. Hopefully this isn't mechanics...
