← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when subjecting an atomic clock to extreme gravitational spacetime curvature?
A)Clock ticks slower relatively✓
B)Clock emits photons rapidly
C)Clock components instantly melt
D)Clock's vacuum seal breaks easily
💡 Explanation
Gravitational time dilation makes clocks run slower in stronger gravitational fields because time's passage is affected by spacetime warping due to high mass; therefore, the clock slows down, rather than emitting radiation or undergoing structural failures typically.
