Abstract
In this paper, the iterative method suggested by Daftardar and Jafari hereafter called Daftardar-Jafari method (DJM) is applied for studying the deflection of light in General Relativity. For this purpose, a brief review of the nonlinear geodesic equations in the spherical symmetry spacetime and the main ideas of DJM are given. As an illustrative example, the simple case of the Schwarzschild metric is considered for which the approximate solution to the null-geodesic equation and the deflection angle of light are obtained. We also compare the obtained result with some similar results presented earlier in the literature. Â
