Which mechanism causes the Shapiro delay of radar signals near massive astrophysical objects?

💡 Explanation

The Shapiro delay occurs because spacetime curvature near massive objects increases the effective distance light travels. Gravity warps space, increasing path length; therefore the signal takes longer rather than changing intrinsic frequency of light itself.
