← ScienceWhich consequence results when a GPS satellite clock's frequency deviates due to general relativistic effects?
A)Positional error accumulation increases sharply✓
B)Transmitter transistors degrade significantly faster
C)Signal encryption key pairs mismatches occur
D)Solar panel energy production sharply drops
💡 Explanation
Positional accuracy degrades because time dilation induces a clock frequency difference, causing phase errors; therefore increased ranging errors, rather than radiation damage because adjustments are constantly applied, in accordance with the principle of equivalence.
