A:
- As per the general theory of relativity, a large gravitational source will bend the space around it. When a photon passes through this gravitational field it will lose energy.
- This will shift the path causing a deflection.
- The amount of deflection caused will be given by,
Here G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the source, R is its radius, and c is the speed of light.

- The lifetime of a muon is 2.20 ?s. If you measured its mass to be 105.7 MeV/c2, what would be the minimum (Heisenberg) uncertainty in this value? Sketch the situation, defining all of your variablesElectron-positron pair production may play a role in a pulsar's beamed radiation mechanism. Find the minimum energy required for the process y → e+e+. What wavelength and what kind of EM radiation are these photons?using the parallax method (p = 0.77) and the standard candle method (apparent magnitude = 11.13; absolute magnitude = 15.60) to compute the distance to Proxima Centuari, both produce a result of about 4 light years. From a scientific and an inductive reasoning point of view why is getting about the same answer viewed as extremely significant from the standpoints of inductive reasoning and probable truth What is the concept of making inductive arguments stronger that applies? Answer here. What do these methods tell us about the size of the universe we live in compared to the universe Tycho and the people of his time thought they lived in?
- Calculate the deflection of light caused by the gravity of a star of mass 8Msun and radius 4Rsun.The question is show that E=(1/2)mgl(theta)^2 . Pls help with this one.Which of the following statements best describes the behaviour of an object falling towards the Event Horizon of a Black Hole (according to an observer a long way from it)? As gravity increases the falling object will not suffer any change in appearence or the progression of time. As gravity increases the object's light will be compressed, leading to it looking bluer, with time appearing to passing more slowly for it. The falling object will appear to experience an increase in the rate of time, and it's colour will appear evermore red. As the falling object experiences ever stronger gravity, it will become redder and time will appear to pass more slowly for it.
