← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased focusing of radio waves near a black hole?
A)Spacetime curvature bending wave paths✓
B)Doppler shift compressing radio waves
C)Increased thermal emission overwhelms data
D)Gravitational lensing distorts frequencies
💡 Explanation
Spacetime curvature bends electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves due to the black hole's gravity field. This focusing occurs because the path of the radio waves follow geodesics; therefore the waves converge, rather than being scattered as would occur with a traditional lens.
