Gravity interaction is possible between

AI Thread Summary
Gravity can interact with both material objects and electromagnetic radiation, as established by Einstein's theory of relativity, which links mass and energy. The mass-energy equivalence (E=mc²) implies that even massless particles, like photons, are influenced by gravity. Discussions highlight the confusion between whether gravity acts solely on material objects or also on electromagnetic waves. Examples of electromagnetic waves interacting with gravity, such as light bending around massive objects, support the idea of option C being correct. Understanding these interactions is crucial for grasping fundamental physics concepts.

Gravity interaction is possible between:
A.Electromagnetic radiations.
B.Material objects.
C.Both material objects and electromagnetic waves
D.None

Can someone tell me its ans with reasons?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Generally, per the PF guidelines, you should show your work or at least share your thoughts on the subject before you can receive help. So.. what do you think?
 
Im confused between b) and c)
Even objects without mass can experience gravity, E=MC squared (mass-energy equation ) related mass to energy. Einstein proved Acceleration and motion are forms of gravity in different inertial frames, the theory of relativity.
Am I right?

Then your reasoning should come down to whether or not you can cite an example of an EM wave interacting with gravity.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
