← ScienceWhich mechanism influences observed photon frequency passing near supermassive black holes?
A)Gravitational redshift widens event horizons
B)Spacetime distortion affects photon energy✓
C)Hawking radiation alters luminosity spectra
D)Relativistic jets enhance Doppler blue-shift
💡 Explanation
Spacetime distortion near intense gravity affects the photon's energy through the **Shapiro delay**. Because spacetime curvature increases photon path length, therefore a redshift occurs rather than intrinsic luminosity shifts from Hawking radiation.
