← ScienceWhich consequence results when objects distort a spacetime continuum?
A)Gravitational lensing of background objects✓
B)Increased rate of radioactive isotope decay
C)Elevated superconductivity critical temperature
D)Reduced Doppler shift of observed light
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because massive objects cause spacetime curvature, therefore photons travel along geodesics bent by the gravity, resulting in distorted images of objects behind them, rather than changing the speed of radioactive/optical processes in local systems.
