← ScienceWhich outcome demonstrates the equivalence principle when observing light deflection?
A)Gravitational lensing near massive objects✓
B)Redshift of light escaping gravity wells
C)Blueshift affected solely by motion
D)Constant speed irrespective of motion
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because of the curvature of spacetime around massive objects. This is equivalent to the accelerated frame predicted by general relativity, therefore, light bends in both accelerated frames and gravitational fields, rather than just due Doppler shift with relative motion.
