Homework 9due Nov. 26 (after Thanksgiving)• [CO 17.6 parts (a), (b)] [16.6 1sted., parts (a), (b)] Derive the deflection of the light ray passing a massive object. Note that your answer will come out a factor of two smaller than Eq. 28.20 [26.15 1sted.] because you are only asked to consider the term affecting the space-like part of the Schwarzschild metric. The time-like part is also affected (this is the answer to part c of this problem.Special offer: I have placed copious hints for how to solve this problem on the course web site. You’re in luck… I don’t know how to set up a secure web site requiring credit card payments, so these hints are absolutely free of charge. But give the problem a try without the hints as a starter.• [CO 28.15] [26.16 1sted.] Pay attention to the hint given with the problem.
