- Title
Effect of light on gravitational attraction.
- Authors
Rancourt, Louis
- Abstract
It is shown in the first part that when a 30° laminar beam of 1.5 W red laser light passes between a freely moving mass on a torsion pendulum and a fixed mass, there is an increase of the attraction between the two masses. In the second part, when a laminar light beam passes close to a freely moving single mass on a torsion pendulum, the mass will move toward the light beam. Un laser de 1.5 W envoie un faisceau de lumière rouge à 30° entre une masse fixe et une masse placée au bout d'un pendule horizontal; on observe une augmentation d'attraction entre les masses. Dans la deuxième partie, quand le faisceau de lumière est placé d'un côté d'une masse unique, la masse se dirige vers la lumière.
