will light of all colors bend to the same extent or is it different for different frequencies?
A gravitational lens is a phenomenon in which the light from a distant object is bent as it passes through the gravitational field of a massive object, such as a galaxy or a cluster of galaxies. This can create distorted or magnified images of the distant object.
The frequency of light is not affected by gravitational lenses. However, the path of the light is altered, which can result in a change in the apparent brightness or position of the object being observed.
No, gravitational lenses and light frequency are not the same thing. Gravitational lenses are a phenomenon that affects the path of light, while light frequency refers to the number of waves that pass through a point in a given amount of time.
Yes, gravitational lenses can be used to study light frequency. As the light from a distant object passes through a gravitational lens, its path is altered, which can provide information about the frequency and properties of the light.
Gravitational lenses and light frequency are important in astronomy because they provide insights into the properties and behavior of light and the structures of the universe. They also allow us to observe and study objects that would otherwise be too distant or faint to detect.
