3 ms·Is sea water unsuitable?by dukwon 8y agoIs sea water unsuitable?wnoise 8y agoYes, it's pretty much the opposite of a dielectric. It's a good conductor with mobile charges, and cannot support any polarization.dukwon 8y agoBut it's good enough for ANTARES/KM3NET to see Cherenkov light, which I believe requires a dielectric medium.cozzyd 8y agoThe problem is that radio doesn't propagate well in sea water (since it's conductive) so you can't observe the interaction from far away in the radio.dukwon 8y agoGotcha, thanks.
