← ScienceWhich effect is exaggerated near black hole event horizons because of intense gravitationally induced spacetime distortion?
A)Gravitational redshift of emitted light✓
B)Increased speed of radioactive decay
C)Blue shift of infalling matter
D)Hawking radiation energy reduction
💡 Explanation
Gravitational redshift increases because increasingly strong gravitational fields cause spacetime distortion. Specifically, the extreme bending of spacetime causes the observed wavelength to increase; therefore, light appears more redshifted as it attempts to escape the gravity well, rather than other quantum phenomena.
