Which mechanism causes a light beam to bend when traversing a strong gravitational field?

💡 Explanation

Light bends near massive objects because the equivalence dictates that gravity warps spacetime, causing spacetime curvature; therefore, light follows the curve rather than traveling straight, because gravitational redshift affects energy scales rather than bending paths.
