← ScienceWhich consequence occurs when a black hole distorts light?
A)Gravitational lensing distorts background images✓
B)Redshift increases light's wavelength notably
C)Blueshift elevates frequency proportionally
D)Refraction changes light's propagation trivially
💡 Explanation
Massive gravity causes gravitational lensing because spacetime curvature bends light paths. Therefore, images of objects behind the black hole are distorted and magnified, rather than simply shifted or trivially refracted as might occur in a normal lens or prism.
