← ScienceWhich consequence results when a high-density neutron star causes light deflection?
A)Gravitational lensing distorts background objects✓
B)Blueshift increases observed photon energy
C)Temporal distortion causes apparent flicker
D)Length contraction alters stellar dimensions
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs in this scenario because spacetime curvature near the neutron star deflects light. Therefore, background objects appear distorted rather than shifted in frequency, which Doppler shift causes, or shortened in length, which requires relative motion.
