← ScienceWhich mechanism causes perceived trajectory changes near extremely massive objects?
A)Spacetime curvature alters light geodesics✓
B)Doppler shift affects photon wavelengths
C)Gravitational lensing magnifies distant objects
D)Electromagnetic fields deflect charged particles
💡 Explanation
Spacetime curvature bends light rays, so the path observed differs from a straight line because gravity warps spacetime due to mass-energy equivalence. Therefore, the observed trajectory changes, rather than being Doppler shifted or lensed because those are distinct effects dependent on relative motion respectively.
