← ScienceWhich deviation increases when spacetime is locally distorted?
A)Light's path appears curved✓
B)Relative velocity remains constant
C)Observed frequency remains constant
D)Energy density stays uniform
💡 Explanation
The principle of general relativity dictates that spacetime distortion leads to curved paths. Therefore, light's path bends due to geodesic deviation, because nearby geodesics converge rather than remaining parallel, influencing its trajectory; alternative trajectories wouldn't exhibit this deviation.
