Popis: In this report, we discuss the dynamics of photons in a five-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole. We find that the corresponding Eddington-Finkelstein-like coordinate admits two time-coordinate singularities for a particular condition. This condition is due to the existence of a non-zero angular momentum related to the extra spatial dimension. By introducing a new Regge-Wheeler tortoise coordinate, both singularities can be removed from the Eddington-Finkelstein-like coordinate. It is identified that the additional singularity is related to the photon sphere in a hyperplane, and we analyze it using a dynamical system approach. Simulation results of photon motion based on numerical calculation are presented. It is suggested that the related bending motion characteristic can probably be considered as a signature for probing the existence of the extra spatial dimension.
