Which effect arises because of general relativistic equivalence between gravity and acceleration affecting an interferometer?

💡 Explanation

The Sagnac effect induces a fringe shift because rotational motion is equivalent to acceleration through spacetime. This affects light paths differently; therefore, the Sagnac effect emerges, rather than thermal gradients, gravitational noise, or alignment needs—all outcomes of system vibration.
