← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a GPS satellite’s velocity increases, impacting timing accuracy back on Earth?
A)Atomic clock frequency appears slower✓
B)Doppler shift errors become negligible
C)Satellite signal strength measurably increases
D)Orbital period exactly synchronizes further
💡 Explanation
Time dilation (a consequence of Einstein's theory from the equivalence principle of gravitation) affects on-board atomic clocks because increased satellite velocity heightens relativistic effects, leading to perceived time slowing. Therefore the clock appears slower, rather than the signal improves, as time and gravity strongly correlate under this setting.
