← ScienceWhich phenomenon dominates when extreme mass causes local spacetime curvature?
A)Gravitational lensing of distant light✓
B)Increased decay rates of unstable isotopes
C)Elevated Hawking radiation emission rates
D)Enhanced quantum tunneling probabilities
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curves around massive objects, bending the path of light. Therefore, significant curvature leads to observable distortions of light from background objects, rather than altered decay rates or quantum tunneling.
