Which mechanism causes light to bend near supermassive blackholes?

💡 Explanation

Light follows geodesics through spacetime, and a black hole causes spacetime to exhibit curvature; therefore light bends toward the black hole, rather than traveling in straight lines because the shortest path gets warped near intense gravitational fields.
