Chapter 44, Problem 44.54

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) Use special relativity and Newtons law of gravitation toshow that a photon of mass m = E /c 2 just grazing the Sunw ill be deflected by an angle A6 given by2GMAd =c Rwhere G is the gravitational constant, R and M are theradius and mass of the Sun, and c is the speed of light.(b) Put in values and show A0 = 0.87". (General Relativitypredicts an angle twice as large, 1.74".)
