Concept and Principle:
- 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.

Pls help with this one.arrow_forwardWhich 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.arrow_forward
