← ScienceWhich mechanism curves light traveling from distant quasars?
A)Gravitational tidal field✓
B)Refractive index gradient
C)Doppler frequency modulation
D)Quantum entanglement collapse
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing bends the path of light because spacetime curvature increases near massive objects, therefore light follows these curves enhancing brightness, rather than simple refraction or wave effects from other phenomena.
