← ScienceWhich effect occurs when a high-density neutron star's gravity bends light?
A)Gravitational lensing distorts visibility✓
B)Blueshift increases observed frequency
C)Time dilation creates chroniton fields
D)Event horizon spontaneously decoheres particles
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because gravity, specifically spacetime curvature, bends the path of photons; therefore, light from objects behind the neutron star is distorted and amplified, rather than experiencing redshift or exotic time effects.
