For angles of projection of a projectile at angles $(45^\circ + \theta)$ and $(45^\circ - \theta)$,the horizontal range described by the projectile are in the ratio of:

According to the quantum theory,a photon of electromagnetic radiation of frequency $v$ has energy $E = h v$,where $h$ is known as Planck's constant. According to the theory of relativity,a particle of mass $m$ has equivalent energy $E = m c^2$,where $c$ is the speed of light. Thus,a photon can be treated as a particle having effective mass $m = \frac{h v}{c^2}$. If a flash of light is sent horizontally in the Earth's gravitational field,then photons while travelling a horizontal distance $d$ would fall through a vertical distance given by:
