← ScienceWhich consequence typically results when massive astrophysical objects distort spacetime?
A)Gravitational lensing of background objects✓
B)Increased frequency of blue-shifted emission
C)Decreased luminosity from smaller companions
D)Uniform expansion in local galactic clusters
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature bends the path of light around massive objects. Therefore light rays deflect, forming magnified or distorted images, rather than simply altering frequencies or luminosity because gravitational effects on light paths dominate.
