Our calculation shows that for light rays passing close to the Sun the deflection Phi lies in the interval 0 < <Phi> < 1.75<double prime>. A tree-level approach to the same issue tells us that the vacuum concerning quadratic gravity is a dispersive medium. Nom Phi is energy dependent and ranges from 0(+) to 1.75(-) arcsec.1235-1239engArtigoWOS:000166373500011Acesso restrito
