← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when the equivalence principle applies?
A)Gravitational lensing bends light paths✓
B)Superfluid helium exhibits zero viscosity
C)Photosynthesis generates sugar from sunlight
D)Piezoelectric materials generate electrical charge
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing bends starlight because spacetime curvature near massive objects deflects photons analogous to light bending in an accelerating reference frame, illustrating Einstein's equivalence principle. Therefore, light bends rather than remaining straight or acting through other physical phenomena.
