← ScienceWhich effect on observational data results when light traverses curved paths near a neutron star?
A)Gravitational lensing distorts images✓
B)Increased redshift decreases photon energy
C)Time dilation compresses observed events
D)Spacetime shearing scrambles polarization
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature bends the path of light near massive objects, causing magnification and distortion of background objects. Therefore gravitational lensing distorts images, rather than redshift changes because the light may not escape, changing polarization.
