← ScienceWhich outcome arises when gravitational fields steepen spacetime causing inaccuracies?
A)Atomic clock runs slower here✓
B)Increased radioactive decay observed there
C)Faster processor output within satellites
D)Optical fiber signal boosted slightly
💡 Explanation
Gravitational time dilation arises because the varying gravitational potential affects spacetime's curvature impacting atomic clock accuracy. Therefore, the clock runs slower in steeper gravitational gradients, rather than processing speed increase or altered radioactive decay which are independent factors.
