← ScienceWhich deflection results when a photon passes sufficiently near large gravitational mass?
A)Spacetime Curvature alters photon trajectory✓
B)Doppler shift increases photon frequency
C)Gravitational redshifting decreases speed
D)Refraction causes polarized light distortion
💡 Explanation
The photon follows path of least resistance in spacetime. General relativity predicts Spacetime Curvature near massive objects affects the momentum; because gravity warps local spacetime, therefore light bends rather than maintaining original trajectory because mass/energy equivalence determines path.
