The Dolphin in the Mirror – A Familiar Face?
We suggest how a basic physics problem becomes much richer when researchers of various disciplines converse. Our discussion explores Snell’s window from the perspective of what a dolphin might see. An aperture, Snell’s window, allows light to travel through the air-water interface. Outside this wind...

description | We suggest how a basic physics problem becomes much richer when researchers of various disciplines converse. Our discussion explores Snell’s window from the perspective of what a dolphin might see. An aperture, Snell’s window, allows light to travel through the air-water interface. Outside this window, there is total reflection from under the water-air interface. Dolphins see through the aperture to follow our movements above the water’s surface. When dolphins look outside the window, can they see their own reflections from under the water-air interface? |
