Which effect on a satellite's atomic clock results because of gravitational equivalence?

A)Clock slowdown as altitude increases✓

B)Clock speeds are identical at points

C)Higher radiation noise than predicted

D)Atomic clock maintains perfect synchronization

💡 Explanation

The general relativity states that gravitational mass is equivalent to inertial mass, resulting in time dilation where time slows down with increased gravitational potential, because clocks at higher altitudes must tick faster to maintain relative time, therefore altitude increase causes slowdown, rather than perfect synchronization.
