Why is the amount of bending of light twice the value
predicted by Newton's [ *No* ..(n - 1). ] laws?
Is this because photons are gravitaionally attracted
twice as much as massive particles? > >> > >

Actually Newton was a bit unsure of this. If light was a
particle it would bend under gravity but if it was wave,
it would not.
Only if it is a particle with nonzero [ h*fL/c^2 ] mass.
No, not quite so. Note that the deflection of particle in
(Newtonian) gravity field is independent of mass.
