← ScienceWhich consequence results when extreme gravitational curvature affects polarized light from a distant quasar?
A)Gravitational lensing magnifies the image✓
B)Redshift increases disproportionately
C)Phase shift becomes undetectable
D)The spectrum broadens significantly
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature bends the path of light, focusing it as if through a lens. It amplifies the quasar's image. Therefore, lensing occurs, rather than excessive redshift alone because other processes cause redshift without substantial image magnification.
