Does light bend when it goes near the gravitational field of a black hole or does the light travel in a straight line through the space that has been bent by the intense gravity?

It has been prooved by General Theory of Relativity that light is affected by gravitation........

When light photons are considered to be particles what kind of path do they usually travel?
As particles photons travel in a straight line unless they are diverted by reflection, refraction, or a magnetic or gravitational field. Note that when it comes to gravity it can also be represented that the light continues in a straight line - but the space it travels through is curved so its path appears curved to the outside observer.
How do you make the gravity stronger?
You can replicate the effects of increased gravity through speed. If you are in a moving vehicle which suddenly stops, you will get thrown forward, which is partially due to increased gravitational force or g-force. If you are on a fast-moving ride at a funfair, you experience increased gravity.
How helium particles could escape through a hole?
Black holes maximizes the gravitational pull to infinite so multiplying the gravitational pull on a helium balloon will make it float away faster because a helium balloon has a negative in which gravity pulls it down.
Why is gravitation so intense near a black hole?
To understand the reason why gravitation is so intense, you've got to know that theblack holes contain the exact same amount of mass as the stars they used to be. Theonly difference is there is a whole lot less space taken up by that mass, making theblack hole extremely dense. The gravitational field that reaches out from the blackhole is not any more nor any less than the star from which it came. The star's fieldstops once you reach the surface of the star. For a black hole, however, thegravitational field continues pulling in where the star used to be. It would be the sameas the Earth having the same gravitational field, but the Earth itself being condensedinto something the size of a football field. When Earth condenses, you would have acouple more thousand kilometers for the gravitational field to magnify. This is why thegravity around a black hole would feel so strong. Its gravity is the exact same as astar's gravity, but much condensed, so that as you get closer the gravity increasesjust as if you were travelling *through* the star to the center.To summarize ... there's a region near a black hole where the gravity is much strongerthan it was near the star before it collapsed, simply because you can get much nearerto the black hole than you could get to the center of the former star. And the strength ofthe gravitational attraction to a mass depends not only on the quantity of mass, but also ...very strongly ... on the distance from its center. Example: If you reduce that distance by99%, then the gravitational attraction becomes 10,000 times greater!
What would happen if you generated gravity in a electromagnetic field?
The earth has gravity and an outer EMF. So the forces coexist. An electrical cable has a gravitational force but extremely small. When a current flows through the cable an electromagnetic field is also created (EMF). An EMF can conversely generate an electric current. The EMF pushes the electrons along the cable in one direction. Gravitational force exists between the atoms. The forces can thus vectorially added.
How does mass effect gravitational force?
There is no such thing as gravitational force. Mass curves spacetime and stuff moves through spacetime in straight spacetime paths. The effect of this is what we call gravity. The more the mass the greater the curvature of spacetime.
How gravity affect objects through gas?
Gravity doesn't care what, if anything, is in the space between the objects. Whatever it is has no effect on the mutual gravitational forces of attraction between them. There's no such thing as "gravitational shielding".
Gravitational force works in straight and direct direction but rotating of the planets around the Sun are in circular paths How could the gravitation force impact in this way?
The revolution (not rotation) of the planets around the sun is not an example of straight gravity. It is a combination of two forces: gravity and inertia. Gravity, working without inertia, would pull the planets into the sun, in a straight line. Inertia, working without gravity, would send the planets sailing through the galaxy, in a straight line. The total effect of these two opposing forces is an orbital path. Gravity and inertia, in this situation, are also referred to as centripetal and centrifugal forces.
Where can i find gravitational in your home?
If you fall down, that's gravity. If you stand up and stand on your feet (as opposed to floating through space), that's gravity.
What bisects a square?
Any straight line through its centroid (centre of gravity).
Why doesn't anyone fall through the floor?
because the gravity on earth is to weak to pull us straight through the floor ;)
Do you use matter to measure the force of gravity?
You can use matter or light to measure the force of gravity, because gravity distorts the shape of space around the gravitational body thus distorting the path that matter or light travels through that space.

What is acceleration deu to gravity"g"?
Acceleration due to gravity "g" is produced by a gravitational force. This can be understood through Newton's law of gravitation: Law of Gravitation: F = (G * m1 * m2) / r^2 where, F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational contraction number (used in the gravitational formula), m1 and m2 are the masses of two objects, r is the distance between two objects. It follows from this formula that the force of gravity is universal in relation to the velocity and distance between the two objects. "g" here stands for gravitational contraction number or gravitational contraction number of gravitational space (gravitational constant). Because its value is very small, the effect of gravity on the gravitational force is not very strong. It is resorted to by humans at almost all lengths and times. Acceleration of an object with the Earth by gravity "g" is a quantity of energy, which is very small in a single month's mass in a single time. It is important to note that "g" deals with the acceleration of the object relative to Earth, and does not focus on the overall acceleration.

What is the definition of the center of the gravity?
The point in or near a body at which the gravitational potential energy of the body is equal to that of a single particle of the same mass located at that point and through which the resultant of the gravitational forces on the component particles of the body acts. source: Answers.com
What is the earths gravitational field?
All objects within the universe attract all other objects through gravity. as distance increases this attraction lessens to an insignificant amount, however the force is still there. therefore the Earth's gravitational field's range is limitless.
