Which effect occurs when the principle of equivalence is used to model a massive object rather than Newtonian gravity?

A)Gravitational lensing magnifies distant objects
B)Quantum entanglement transmits faster signals
C)Electromagnetic fields perfectly shield charge
D)Nuclear fusion spontaneously creates heavy elements

💡 Explanation

Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature bends light near massive objects, in agreement with the principle of equivalence. This predicts light will bend because a strong gravitational field is equivalent to acceleration; therefore lensing, rather than simple Newtonian attraction, occurs which would cause less bending.
