← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased gravitational redshift of photons escaping from extremely dense neutron stars?
A)Spacetime curvature near intense gravity✓
B)Quantum entanglement photon pair annihilation
C)Inverse Compton scattering reduced wavelength
D)Cosmological expansion accelerating spacetime elongation
💡 Explanation
Gravitational redshift increases because spacetime curvature near a neutron star's intense gravitational field stretches the photon's wavelength as it loses energy escaping, therefore 'A' is correct rather than alternative scattering or accelerating expansion explanations.
