If OE is the angle of bending of light predicted by Einstein's theory of gravity and ON that by Newton's, then
Correct answer: B. OE= 0.5 ON
- A. OE= ON
- B. OE= 0.5 ON
- C. OE =2ON
- D. No relation exists between OE and ON
Explanation
The angle of bending of light predicted by Einstein's theory is approximately double that predicted by Newton's theory. Therefore, OE = 2ON.
