- A question has come up in my considerations of relativity. I would
- appreciate any input anyone might have regarding it.
-
- What happens to the frequency of a light wave that has been deflected by
- the gravitational effects of a massive body?
-
- ------nu~0--->--\ nu~1
- * \
- / \
- massive body _\|
- nu~2
-
- What is nu~1 and nu~2 relative to nu~0? Why? Please cite sources, if
- possible.
-
- Please e-mail responses to me. Thanks in advance for your consideration
- in this matter! It is appreciated.
