← ScienceWhich effect occurs to photons near massive objects?
A)Gravitational lensing alters path✓
B)Increased frequency (blueshift)
C)Decreased speed (slow photons)
D)Zero mass converts to energy
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature near massive objects alters photon paths. The photons follow the distorted geometry, therefore light bends, rather than speed changes or mass conversions, influenced by gravitational spacetime effects.
