← ScienceWhich effect on gravitational waves occurs when propagation traverses regions of extreme spacetime curvature?
A)Wave amplitude interference patterns emerge✓
B)Wave frequency stays precisely constant
C)Wave polarity remains entirely static
D)Wave velocity always retains isotropy
💡 Explanation
Interference arises because spacetime curvature focuses or defocuses wave paths, causing varying path lengths and amplitudes at the detector. The mechanism involved is gravitational lensing; therefore, the observed waves constructively or destructively interfere, rather than keeping frequency or velocity constant.
