← ScienceWhich apparent consequence results when a stationary observer in a uniformly accelerating elevator applies Einstein's equivalence principle?
A)Gravitational redshift of light increases✓
B)Spacetime curvature remains locally zero
C)Energy is locally not conserved
D)Inertial mass becomes frame-dependent
💡 Explanation
The gravitational redshift of light increases because the equivalence principle asserts the effects of gravity are indistinguishable from acceleration; therefore, light traveling upwards loses energy, mimicking gravitational redshift rather than preserving spacetime curvature locally under freefall conditions.
