Scientific paper

This paper gives (in a suitable approximation) the Poynting vector of a plane electromagnetic wave diffracted by the gravitational field of a Schwarzschild black hole. The relation between the approximation procedure and the concept of rays is established. The main results are as follows: (1) On the focal line an extreme amplification of intensity takes place. (2) In the whole space off this focal line a double image is to be seen. (3) Rays having revolved around the black hole repeatedly give small corrections only. (4) The phase differences (transit-time differences) along the different rays are computed.
