← ScienceWhich distortion affects image resolution near massive astronomical objects?
A)Gravitational lensing elongates spacetime✓
B)Adaptive optics removes atmospheric distortion
C)Refraction indices create mirages
D)Doppler shifting blurs distant objects
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because massive objects warp spacetime; therefore, light paths bend, distorting images rather than simple atmospheric refraction alone, because spacetime curvature influences photons independent of medium.
