← ScienceWhich consequence results when substantial mass curves space-time?
A)Gravitational lensing refracts light rays.✓
B)Increased repulsive electromagnetic forces appear.
C)Nuclear isomers spontaneously decay faster.
D)Chemical reaction activation energy decreases.
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing bends photon paths because high mass-energy density manifests as spacetime curvature, affecting geodesics. Specifically, refraction via gravitational lensing occurs, therefore we only observe light bending, rather than electrical effects or changes in nuclear or chemical kinetics.
