← ScienceWhich observation directly confirms the equivalence principle governing gravity?
A)Bending starlight near massive objects✓
B)Conservation inside the spinning bucket
C)Absolute simultaneity between observers
D)Constant speed regardless reference frames
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing, or bending starlight, confirms the equivalence principle because gravity's effect on photons is equivalent to accelerated motion warping spacetime. Wavelight propagation exhibits that curve, showing that the shortest path will no longer be a straight line; therefore confirming A rather than any flat-spacetime prediction.
