← ScienceWhich mechanism causes lengthening photon transit times near black holes?
A)Spacetime curvature induces gravitational redshift✓
B)Pair production increases index refraction
C)Hawking radiation emits exotic matter
D)Quantum entanglement alters particle velocity
💡 Explanation
Spacetime curvature causes photons to expend energy escaping a gravity well via gravitational redshift, because it effectively increases the distance traveled. Therefore light arrival is delayed, rather than effects based on particle transformation or emission.
