Deflection of Light Rays in Electric Field

Deflection of a light ray in a gravitational field, though as predicted by the general theory of relativity, occurs in the absence of any accompanying mass, indicating that there is a scope for the light ray to deflect in an electric field without any electric charge accompanying it. This paper takes this into account and first discusses how the electric force mutually arises. From this it is clear that the electric force arises from the interaction of two electric fields in which electric charge plays no role. Because a light ray has an electric field, another electric field can apply a force on it, changing the direction of travel of the light ray. Again, since light rays have an electric field, if two light rays pass parallel and close together, an electric force also exists between them. So, what effect it has on them is discussed.
