← ScienceWhich consequence occurs when light passes a supermassive black hole?
A)Gravitational lensing and image distortion✓
B)Increased redshift and photon energy
C)Uniform blueshift of observed wavelengths
D)Decreased travel time of photons
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing and image distortion occurs because spacetime curvature near the black hole deviates photons paths. Therefore, strong gravity bends electromagnetic radiation rather than light travelling straight, and other answers misrepresent gravity's effect.
