Question
Chapter 16, Problem 39A
To determine
The evidence for the change in energy.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Photon is a bundle or packet of energy consists of
When a photon is sent in the gravitational field, velocity of the photon will not change. As momentum is product of mass and velocity, momentum of the photon also remains unchanged.
The frequency and hence the wavelength of the photon is shifted. Because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other. Hence person observing this effect from outside could say that the photon is bent in the gravitational field.
Conclusion:
There will not be any change in speed and momentum of the photon , only frequency and hence wavelength would be shifted if photon enters the gravitational field.

To do this, you first explain about Einstein's notion of large masses, like those of stars, causing a curvature of spacetime. (See the section on general relativity.) To demonstrate, you put a bowling ball on your bed, so that it sinks downward and creates a deep depression in the mattress. Your sheet has a checked pattern that provides a nice coordinate system, as shown in the figure below. This is an example of a large mass (the bowling ball) creating a curvature of a flat, two-dimensional surface (the mattress) into a third dimension. (Spacetime is four dimensional, so its curvature is not easily visualized.) Then, you are going to amaze your friend by projecting a marble horizontally along a section of the sheet surface that is curved downward by the bowling ball so that the marble follows a circular path, as…arrow_forwardQ6: Water in a river 1.6 km wide flows at a speed of 6.0 km h−1.
