← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when stellar mass causes extreme spacetime distortion?
A)Gravitational lensing of distant light✓
B)Increased rate of nuclear fusion
C)Redshift of emitted X-rays
D)Blue shift of emitted X-rays
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing results because the strong gravity warps spacetime; therefore light follows curved paths around the mass. This bending is predicted by General Relativity's equivalence principle, rather than simple Newtonian gravity.
