← ScienceWhich mechanism induces radio signal delay near pulsars?
A)Spacetime curvature alters signal path✓
B)Doppler shift compressing pulse width
C)Synchrotron radiation broadens radio waves
D)Interstellar plasma causing wave diffraction
💡 Explanation
The radio signal delay occurs because strong gravitational fields induces spacetime curvature which affects the path of photons (radio waves); therefore, the signal travels a longer distance, rather than delay due to simple dispersion or Doppler effects.
