schwarzschild-ray-tracing

This project is meant to perform Schwarzschild Ray Tracing based on user choices and parameters. The user may simulate how light bends around a blackhole using rays emitted from sources at the desired positions at custom angles or by choosing a pre-made setup.

How to Run

To run the Ray Tracing, clone the repository and enter your parameters in input.txt. Then, run the file ray_tracing.py to see the result.

Acknowledgement

This project has published with the assistance of Dipankar Maitra, Associate Professor of Physics/Astronomy at Wheaton College MA, whose knowledge and inputs shaped the mathematics and design choices I adopted
