← ScienceWhich effect occurs near black holes because of extreme gravity?
A)Spacetime curvature affects light paths✓
B)Increased Hawking radiation heats space
C)Frame dragging reverses angular momentum
D)Tidal forces create stable orbits
💡 Explanation
Light bends near black holes because mass curves spacetime via gravitational lensing, causing photons to follow curved paths, rather than continuing straight. Therefore, spacetime curvature affects paths, rather than a change in background temperature or reversing trajectory.
