← ScienceWhich outcome occurs because of the equivalence principle within an elevator accelerating upwards?
A)Light bends towards floor✓
B)Time slows near the top
C)Elevator appears weightless inside
D)Internal pendulum swings faster
💡 Explanation
Optical deflection occurs because apparent gravity experienced due to elevator acceleration mimics gravity due to mass (equivalence principle), therefore light bends towards the floor, rather than a stationary elevator maintaining straight paths.
