Which effect occurs in an accelerating spaceship cabin due to the equivalence principle?

A)Light bends towards the floor
B)Time runs faster at ceiling
C)Apparent mass is evenly distributed
D)Gravity gradients become undetectable

💡 Explanation

The acceleration leads to the bending of light because of the equivalence principle, where acceleration mimics gravity; therefore light bends downward rather than travels straight. Mass distribution remains even, and time dilation effects strengthen near large objects which do create gravity gradients.
