In this letter, we have investigated the deflection angle of light by wormholes using a new geometrical method known as Gibbons-Werner method (GW). In particular we have calculated the deflection angle of light in the weak limit approximation in two wormhole spacetime geometries: Ellis wormhole and Janis-Newman-Winnicour (JNW) wormhole. We have employed the famous Gauss-Bonnet theorem (GBT) to the Ellis wormhole optical geometry and JNW wormhole optical geometry, respectively. By using GBT, we computed the deflection angles in leading orders by these wormholes and our results were compared with the ones in the literature.

  1. EFT Corrections to Photon Propagation and Gravitational Lensing in an Ellis-Bronnikov Wormhole

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In an Ellis-Bronnikov wormhole, EFT corrections to photon propagation modify the strong-deflection lensing coefficients in a polarization-dependent way, with a Ricci-curvature coupling contributing that vanishes for S...

  2. Ellis-Bronnikov Wormhole Shadows with Spherically Symmetric Accretion Flow

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    GRRT simulations of spherically symmetric accretion show the Ellis-Bronnikov wormhole yields brighter shadow and photon ring than Schwarzschild, both consistent with EHT M87* data.
