← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when light passes a black hole?
A)Gravitational lensing causes image distortion✓
B)Doppler shift increases light frequency
C)Refraction causes spectral separation
D)Chromatic aberration degrades image quality
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because the mass causes spacetime curvature near a black hole, focusing light rays. Therefore, images become distorted, rather than simply shifted, aberrated, or split into different frequencies.
