← ScienceWhich bending results from spacetime curvature near a black hole?
A)Gravitational lensing of distant objects✓
B)Relativistic slowing of chemical reactions
C)Increased particle decay observed always
D)Blueshifting of stellar emissions everywhere
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because mass-energy induces spacetime curvature, causing photons to follow curved paths. Therefore, we observe distorted or multiple images of objects behind the black hole, rather than uniform time dilation or spectral shifts.
