← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a photon's path bends near a black hole?
A)Gravitational redshift of photon increases✓
B)Photon energy increases unexpectedly
C)Photon path becomes completely randomized
D)Spontaneous electron-positron pair production happens
💡 Explanation
Gravitational redshift increases because spacetime curvature causes photons to lose energy climbing out of a gravitational well; this is due to the principle of equivalence. Therefore, the photon shifts to lower frequencies, rather than gaining energy or generating particles.
