← ScienceWhich mechanism causes trajectory bending around a black hole?
A)Spacetime curvature gradient✓
B)Gravitational redshift increase
C)Hawking radiation dispersion
D)Accretion disk momentum transfer
💡 Explanation
Light follows geodesics, and the extreme mass of a black hole causes significant spacetime curvature; therefore, photons follow the curvature gradient, bending towards the black hole rather than moving in a straight line as in flat spacetime.
