← ScienceWhich consequence results when a pulsar's extreme gravity distorts nearby spacetime?
A)Gravitational lensing deflects EM radiation✓
B)Time slows within pulsar interior
C)Pulsar surface material undergoes fusion
D)Increased strength of magnetic emissions
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs near massive objects because spacetime curvature bends light paths. Therefore, light from or behind the pulsar is deflected and magnified, rather than changed in speed; this effect differs from gravitational time dilation, which affects time, locally.
