← ScienceWhich consequence is observed as spacecraft approach massive astronomical bodies?
A)Increased gravitational redshift of signals✓
B)Decreased signal transit time variations
C)Reduced rate-of-change orbital acceleration
D)Diminished relativistic momentum accumulation
💡 Explanation
Increased gravitational redshift occurs because spacetime curvature near a massive object affects the frequency of electromagnetic radiation through gravitational frequency shift. The light's frequency decreases; redshift increases. Therefore, A is correct, rather than B, C, or D, which don't match the spacetime distortion.
