← ScienceWhich effect does gravitational time dilation cause near very massive objects?
A)Slower atomic clock rates✓
B)Increased light frequency shifts
C)Faster chemical reactions
D)Decreased radioactive decay rates
💡 Explanation
Gravitational time dilation predicts slower clock rates because the equivalence principle dictates stronger gravity influences time; therefore clocks tick slower near massive objects, rather than faster, due to the increased gravitational potential.
