← ScienceWhich effect occurs when gravitational potential decreases near Earth?
A)Increased gravitational time dilation effects
B)Reduced gravitational redshift of photons
C)Decreased spacetime curvature locally
D)Increased atomic clock frequency offset✓
💡 Explanation
As potential decreases, spacetime near Earth is less dilated because the gravitational field is stronger, leading to a change via the Einstein equivalence principle; therefore atomic clocks run at measurably increased frequency offset relative to reference rather than constant behavior in different potentials.
