← ScienceWhich mechanism causes light to bend around massive galaxy clusters?
A)Spacetime curvature due to gravity✓
B)Atmospheric refraction of dense plasma
C)Doppler shift of emitted photons
D)Quantum entanglement between photons
💡 Explanation
Light bends because gravity warps spacetime; this phenomenon, called gravitational lensing, is caused by spacetime curvature around massive objects. Therefore, the path of light bends rather than traveling a straight line, as alternative mechanisms would require different physical conditions.
