Gauss's Surface Law applied to an Enclosed Gravitating Mass (continued)
The gravitational effect on a ray of light at an impact parameter R would theoretically depend solely on the amount of Mass M that is enclosed within the analytical Gaussian sphere of radius R as illustrated in Fig 1B.
Fig 1B Gauss's Surface Law applied to Equal Gravitating Masses Enclosed
The gravitational effect that would be noted at the surface of an analytical Gaussian sphere does not care at all about the size or radius of the mass that is enclosed within the Gaussian sphere. We can see from Gauss's Law that the enclosed mass spheres of different radii and equal masses will present equal gravitational effects at the surface of the analytical Gaussian surface of radius R.
