Guiana dolphins are one of the few mammals able to detect electric fields. in a test of sensitivity, a dolphin was exposed to the electric field of charged electrodes. the electric field was measured by detecting the potential difference between two electrodes located 1.0 cm apart along the field lines. the dolphin could reliably detect a field that produced a potential difference of 0.50 mv. what is the corresponding electric field strength?

Astudent is given an assignment to demonstrate diffraction. he takes a photograph of a straw in a glass of water. the straw appears bent at the water level. which best describes this example? a) this is a good example of diffraction. b) this is an example of dispersion and not diffraction. c) this is an example of refraction and not diffraction. d) this is an example of reflection and not diffraction.
