← ScienceWhich mechanism causes the gravitational field deflection of light beams during strong equivalence?
A)Spacetime curvature follows mass energy✓
B)Refraction shifts apparent source positions
C)Inertial frames accelerate light packets
D)Photons gain mass near blackholes
💡 Explanation
Spacetime curvature occurs because mass-energy equivalence suggests gravity warps spacetime, therefore light follows this curved path rather than traveling in a straight line because spacetime is distorted around massive objects. Refraction is not at play here.
