Gravitational lensing and diffraction patterns

[mossek]

Does gravitational lensing cause diffraction patterns, such as those seen by single, double, etc slit diffraction? In other words, would x-rays from object X get bent "less" than say microwaves or infrared? Would this happen if the light was passing between binary stars only, or could it potentially happen around a single star such as our own?

 

[Jonathan Scott]

All electromagnetic waves are bent by the same amount by a gravitational field. A massive object traveling very close to c would be bent by the same amount too.

Gravitational lensing does produce a somewhat diffused/blury imaging as light closer to the mass is bent more than light passing a greater distance.

I probably can't use that as an excuse for my glasses, though. Bummer.

BUT - it bends x-rays at x distance the same as microwaves at x distance, and vice-versa for both at y distance, right?
