← ScienceWhich outcome follows when local gravity mimics acceleration?
A)Light path becomes measurably curved✓
B)Gravitational waves become undetectable locally
C)Time slows due to length contraction
D)Inertial mass decreases proportionally
💡 Explanation
Curvature of light's path is inevitable given that one consequence of Einstein's principle of equivalence is that gravitational effects mimic accelerative effects. Therefore photons are subject to deflection within accelerated frames because gravity bends light in the same way, rather than inertial shifts.
