Honeybees accumulate charge as they fly, and they transfer charge to the flowers they visit. honeybees are able to sense electric fields; tests show that they can detect a change in field as small as 0.77 nc. honeybees seem to use this sense to determine the charges on flowers in order to detect whether or not a flower has been recently visited, so they can plan their foraging accordingly. as a check on this idea, let's do a quick calculation using typical numbers for charges on flowers. if a bee is at a distance of 24 cm, can it detect the difference between flowers that have a +30 pc charge and a +40 pc charge?

Sawyer is studying diffraction. he draws a diagram of a plane wave to show how light waves travel. which best describes sawyer’s error? the wave fronts should be perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing to the left. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing downward. the wave fronts should be both parallel and perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move.
