According to newton's theory, gravity has no effect on the path of light . But the reality is quite complicated and different. According to Einstein, mass curves space-time. the stronger the gravitational field of an object, the more the space around the object is warped. Since light ordinarily travels on a straight-line path, light follows a curved path if it passes through a strong gravitational field and hence it deviates from its straight line path.
