Abstract
The classical experiment of equivalent of gravitational mass and inertial mass are reviewed. The discovery of the principle of equivalence is introduced. The application of the principle of equivalence to the delay of time of the gravitational field,gravitational red of spectrum of star and deflection of light ray are illustrated.
