← ScienceWhich mechanism causes gravitational lensing around supermassive black holes?
A)Spacetime curvature redirects light paths✓
B)Event horizon absorbs photons
C)Accretion disk emits Hawking radiation
D)Doppler shift alters observed frequency
💡 Explanation
Near black holes, spacetime curvature deflects photons following geodesics; this gravitational lensing occurs because strong gravity alters light paths rather than absorption or Doppler effects which require different physical conditions.
