Light Propagation: Gravitational Field

Scientific paper

Following Chou's (1982) viewpoint that the Cartesian system of space coordinates and time defines a Minkowskian space-time in which the Einstein field equations and the harmonic condition are the laws of gravitation, the author studies the effects of an external gravitational field in the propagation and in the emission of light respectively from the generalized Maxwell and Dirac equations of the general relativity by geometric optics and quantum mechanics, and get the usual results for the red shift. For the naively homogeneous and isotropic model of cosmology (the case with k = 0 in the Robertson-Walker scheme) a closed form for the relation between distance and red shift is obtained, which indicates that a new way of analyzing the observational data with not too small red shifts is needed.
