Why does light show gravitational lensing if it is not a state of matter?

Gravitational lensing does not depend on a the state of matter of light, rather it is an expression of the geometric curvature of space/time due to mass.

Why is the production of light on a candle a physical change?
Because it a change of state of matter in this case of the the matter in question is gas.
How does state of matter affect light?
The state of matter can affect the way light interacts with it. In solids, light typically gets absorbed or reflected, leading to the appearance of color. In liquids, light can be absorbed and scattered, which can affect its transparency. In gases, light can be transmitted easily, leading to high transparency. Additionally, the refractive index of a material also depends on its state of matter, which affects the speed and direction of light.
Which state of matter forms when a fluorescent light bulb is turned on?
is gas, liquid, or plasmaBut I need only one.plasma
Name the fourth and fifth states of matter?
wave state and dark matter state
What are the fourth and the fifth states of matter?
I know the 4th state of matter. It's BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATES or BEC.Not Quite!. After Gas, Liquid and Solid come Plasma and then the Bose-Einstein condensate.
What state of matter is mass?
Its not a state of matter. Its the actual weight of the object without te gravitational force acting on it.
Which state of matter is candlelight?
Light is NOT a state of matter - its photons, pure energy.
Is light related to the state of matter?
No, it is not.
What do you mean by darkness?
Dark matter is matter that is inferred to exist from gravitational effects on visible matter and background radiation, but is undetectable by emitted or scattered electromagnetic radiation.
What state of matter is a light bulb?
Solid
Decribes how compact matter is in space?
The sad fact is that when we discuss compact matter, we're playing with quantum gravity, postulated particles, and a weirdness that uses multiple and compound infinities. However: Propose, that we have more states of matter than many of our best physicists wish to concede for personal reasons. At the beginning, let us consider compact matter. Bars and Svetcos pounded their theory into a plowshare ten years ago, but here are the essentials. Compact matter takes form as a field that lacks all the features associated with baryonic matter. It is of infinite density, C becomes infinite, and this state of matter is purely energetic. We have deduced its presence in deep space by gravitational lensing. Where one would expect MACHO's (Massive Compact Halo Objects) to show a four-pronged gravitational lensing effect, cosmic superstrings show a two-pronged lensing effect. In either case, the gravitation exhibited is consistent with black hole singularities. Compton began work on compact matter as part of his expanding universe theory. He theorized that compact matter sheds "fibers into the void of pure vacuum and it then becomes De Sitter space, with a nonzero mass . . .." Hawking then completed Compton's incomplete theory, and was privileged to name that radiation after himself. (See Hawking Radiation). We may surmise that compact matter is purely energetic, has sufficient gravity to deflect photons traveling near C, and is linked to De Sitter space.
What state of matter is a flame considered as?
A flame is not a substance like water or air. Rather, it is the result of heat and light energy so you can't really say what state of matter it is in. Think of it like this; asking what state of matter a flame is in would be like asking what state of matter light or heat are in. They are forms of energy, not substances.
Wht is the fourth state of matter?
The 4th state of matter is plasma, plasma is the glowing light found in neon lights. Plasma is a 4th state of matter because it is inbetwwe a liquid and a gas
Why is the production of light on a candle a physical change?
Because it a change of state of matter in this case of the the matter in question is gas.
Is lighting plasma?
No. Plasma is a state of matter. Light is not matter. It is energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
What branch of physics deals with light and the interaction of light with matter?
You're asking about two different branches of physics. Optics is the study of light. The interaction of light with matter is more properly Solid State Physics.
