Science

Which effect minimizes GPS errors because relativistic curvature increases?

A)Atomic clock frequency adjusting
B)Signal transit time shortening
C)Orbital velocity linear projection
D)Ground reflector signal distortion

💡 Explanation

Atomic clocks in GPS satellites experience time dilation; gravitational curvature warps spacetime, which affects clock rate. Therefore, clock frequency is adjusted to compensate via the Shapiro delay calculation, rather than altered signal velocity or orbital projections.
