← ScienceWhich consequence results when a light beam passes near extreme spacetime curvature?
A)Gravitational lensing effect occurs✓
B)Faster propagation is observed
C)Frequency remains effectively constant
D)Linear polarization becomes randomized
💡 Explanation
A massive body causes extreme spacetime curvature; therefore, the path of the light beam bends due to gravitational lensing, because spacetime itself is warped. This occurs rather than immediate effects on the photon's individual properties, without specific interactions.
