Gravitational mass of the photons


Moscow State Aviation Institute (National Research University), Volokolamskoe shosse 4, Moscow, 125872, Russian Federation

It is shown that the gravitational and inertial masses of a photon or indeed of any body are equal. Motion past and free fall onto a center of gravitational attraction are considered.
