← ScienceWhich mechanism causes gravitational focusing in star clusters?
A)Spacetime curvature alters photon trajectory✓
B)Doppler shift compresses light waves
C)Refraction bends starlight internally
D)Interference amplifies light near stars
💡 Explanation
Gravitational focusing occurs due to spacetime curvature; massive objects bend spacetime, altering photon paths because light follows geodesics, it bends toward mass, therefore objects appear magnified and distorted, rather than through simple refraction or interference.
