Which consequence results when gravitational lensing unexpectedly magnifies distant quasar images?

💡 Explanation

Anomalous image brightening causes apparent luminosity changes; this follows from Einstein's mass-energy equivalence related to spacetime distortion, a form of energy. Consequently, a magnified image indicates apparent over-estimation of the quasar output rather than inconsistent redshifts or inaccurate location, because gravitational lensing concentrates energy, which mimics an elevated energy.
