← ScienceWhich consequence results when X-rays pass near a black hole?
A)Gravitational lensing intensifies signal✓
B)Pair production energy dissipation
C)Frequency doubles due Compton scattering
D)Synchrotron radiation diminishes quickly
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because photons follow geodesics whose trajectories reflect spacetime curvature caused by the black hole's mass. Therefore, lensing intensifies the signal rather than pair production; it's gravitational, not high enegry radiation.
