Derivation of the Deflection of Light near a Mass from Huygen's Principle — •Carmesin Hans-Otto — Gymnasium Athenaeum, 21680 Stade, Harsefelder Straße 40 — Studienseminar Stade, Bahnhodstraße 5, 21682 Stade — Universität Bremen, Fachbereich 1, Pf 330440, 28334

In the vicinity of a mass the space time is curved. As a consequence the wavelength of light is relatively short near the mass. So the wave front exhibits Huygen's elementary waves with relatively small radius near the mass. Consequently the wave front moves towards the mass and the light is deflected. From this I derive the formula for the deflection of light near a mass.
