← ScienceWhich effect on atomic clocks results when spacetime curvature increases?
A)Time slows, experiencing gravitational time dilation✓
B)Frequency increases due Zeeman splitting
C)Wavelength red shifts per Hubble's Law
D)Decay accelerates toward shorter half-lives
💡 Explanation
As gravity increases, the atomic clock's time slows because gravitational time dilation occurs due to spacetime curvature; therefore, time slows rather than the frequency shifting or decay accelerating, which are results of other phenomena.
