← ScienceWhich effect occurs in an accelerating spaceship cabin due to the equivalence principle?
A)Light bends towards the floor✓
B)Time runs faster at ceiling
C)Apparent mass is evenly distributed
D)Gravity gradients become undetectable
💡 Explanation
The acceleration leads to the bending of light because of the equivalence principle, where acceleration mimics gravity; therefore light bends downward rather than travels straight. Mass distribution remains even, and time dilation effects strengthen near large objects which do create gravity gradients.
