Which outcome occurs because of the equivalence principle within an elevator accelerating upwards?

💡 Explanation

Optical deflection occurs because apparent gravity experienced due to elevator acceleration mimics gravity due to mass (equivalence principle), therefore light bends towards the floor, rather than a stationary elevator maintaining straight paths.
