Which mechanism causes the gravitational field deflection of light beams during strong equivalence?

💡 Explanation

Spacetime curvature occurs because mass-energy equivalence suggests gravity warps spacetime, therefore light follows this curved path rather than traveling in a straight line because spacetime is distorted around massive objects. Refraction is not at play here.
