← ScienceWhich phenomenon is observed due to spacetime curvature near black holes?
A)Gravitational Lensing Formation of Einstein Rings✓
B)Increased Speed of Light Propagation
C)Uniform Spacetime Expansion Acceleration
D)Decreased Particle Mass Energy Equivalence
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature bends light rays near massive objects. The process, called Shapiro Delay, increases light transit time rather than increasing speed; therefore, the distortion forms rings, rather than expansion, or changing mass.
