← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased gravitational lensing near compact objects?
A)Spacetime curvature attracts more photons✓
B)Refraction separates high energy photons
C)Diffraction shifts relativistic spectral lines
D)Doppler shifting amplifies faint signals
💡 Explanation
Photon trajectories curve toward massive objects due to spacetime curvature, because spacetime is warped by mass-energy; therefore, images appear distorted and magnified, rather than diffraction effects or simple refraction affecting photons.
