← ScienceWhich mechanism causes light to bend near supermassive blackholes?
A)Spacetime is locally exhibiting curvature✓
B)Refraction increases near event horizon
C)Frame dragging rotates the photon
D)Gravitational waves compress light waves
💡 Explanation
Light follows geodesics through spacetime, and a black hole causes spacetime to exhibit curvature; therefore light bends toward the black hole, rather than traveling in straight lines because the shortest path gets warped near intense gravitational fields.
