Significant Findings on Gravitational Lensing

first published in the 1991, 2001 as well as in the 2012 edition

A minimum-energy calculation published in this work shows that electromagnetic waves propagating in a plasma atmosphere exposed to the gravitational gradient field of sun will deflect precisely at the angle of 1.75 arcsec at an impact parameter corresponding to the plasma limb of the sun. This was accomplished from pure classical assumptions of a minimum- energy or least-time path of electromagnetic waves propagating in a plasma atmosphere exposed to the gravitational gradient field of sun. The least-time calculation is confirmed by a host of very-long-baseline-interferometer (VBLI) measurements of microwaves from radio pulsar sources that were deflected at the thin plasma rim of the sun at precisely the angle of 1.75 arcsec. Thus, the recorded VLBI experiments on the deflection of microwaves at the solar plasma limb agrees with this minimum-energy calculation cited here.
