← ScienceWhich effect arises when gravitational and inertial forces exhibit the equivalence principle?
A)Light path bends near masses✓
B)Frame dragging creates Coriolis effects
C)Quantum entanglement links particle states
D)Velocity boosts observed photon blue-shift
💡 Explanation
The light bends, according to general relativity, because the equivalence principle posits gravity and acceleration are indistinguishable; therefore, light follows a curved path in a gravitational field, rather than traveling straight as in flat spacetime.
