← ScienceWhich perceptual effect results from the equivalence principle?
A)Gravity bending perceived trajectories directly✓
B)Objects appearing larger at horizon
C)Faster object fade rates approaching horizon
D)Horizon compression using perspective foreshortening
💡 Explanation
Gravity bends the trajectory of light, so because of the equivalence principle, acceleration must also bend light; the Shapiro delay is a visual effect due to this spacetime curvature. Therefore, trajectories bend, rather than a size effect or optical illusion based perspective.
