However, for a much closer approach of the periastron to \(r_S\), ‘time bending’ largely exceeds ‘spatial bending’ of light, while their sum remains substantially below that of Schwarzschild space-time. For the limit of light grazing the sun, asymptotic ‘spatial bending’ and ‘time bending’ become essentially equal, adding up to the total light deflection of 1.75 arc-seconds predicted by general relativity. We focus on null geodesics in particular. For the ‘curved-time’ metric, devoid of any spatial curvature, geodesic orbits have the same apsides as in Schwarzschild space-time. Geodesic structure and completeness is conveyed by computer-generated figures depicting either Schwarzschild equatorial plane or Flamm’s paraboloid. A precise classification can be made in terms of impact parameters. Infinitely many geodesics can possibly be drawn between any two points, but they must be of specific regular or singular types. These s-geodesics must then be regarded as funneling through the ‘belt’ of the full Flamm’s paraboloid. Singular or s-geodesics tangentially reach the \(r_S\) circle. Regular geodesics reach a periastron greater than the \(r_S\) Schwarzschild radius, thus remaining confined to a half of Flamm’s paraboloid. Both kinds may or may not encircle the hole region any number of times, crossing themselves correspondingly. The intrinsic geometry of a two-sided equatorial plane corresponds to that of a full Flamm’s paraboloid. For ‘a-temporal’ space, we solve a central geodesic orbit equation in terms of elliptic integrals. The curve seems to be a portion of an ellipse.We investigate geodesic orbits and manifolds for metrics associated with Schwarzschild geometry, considering space and time curvatures separately. ![]() Parametric equations also come with a domain for the parameter, usually we denote the domain with \(I=\), and it could be infinite \(I=[a,\infty)\), or \(I=(-\infty, \infty)\), etc.Ĭurve \(x(\theta)=2\cos(\theta)\), \(y(\theta)=3\sin(\theta)\) for \(0\leq\theta\leq 3\pi/2\) The main point is that the points \((x,y)\) can be expressed or depend on a third parameter. In some examples, the parameter could instead be an angle variable \(\theta\): This is an example of a set of parametric equations and the variable \(t\) is called the parameter of the parametrization. For example, if the curve is the trajectory of a particle moving on a plane then the position \((x,y)\) of the particle is a function of time \(t\): We may still be interested in describing the points \((x,y)\) on the curve. The curve cannot be expressed as the graph of a function \(y=f(x)\) because there are points \(x\) associated to multiple values of \(y\), that is, the curve does not pass the vertical line test. In this chapter, we introduce parametric equations on the plane and polar coordinates.Ĭonsider the following curve \(C\) in the plane:Ī curve that is not the graph of a function \(y=f(x)\) 4 Parametric Equations and Polar Coordinates. ![]()
