Which outcome occurs when light grazes a black hole?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime is curved by the black hole's mass, causing light to bend more than classical mechanics predicts. Therefore, divergence increases slightly; rather than refraction or heating because photons are accelerated.
