A question came up in conversation for which I did not have the anwswer,
and being to lazy look for it I thought I would turn to phys-l for some
help.
We know that light is deviated by large masses...as I recall the first
observation being deviation of the angle between two stars when the sun
was interposed and when it was not. One way of thinking about that is
that light is deviated by a strong graviational field. The question I
was asked, would light also be deviated by a strong electric field, and
if it would has anyone ever tried to observe the effect.
