← ScienceWhich outcome results when a laser beam bypasses close to a blackhole?
A)Gravitational lensing will bend light
B)Stimulated emission increases coherence
C)Wavelength shifts redshift considerably✓
D)Photon polarization remains unchanged entirely
💡 Explanation
Gravitational time dilation affects the observed light from regions closer to massive objects; because spacetime is curved around objects due to Einstein's Equivalence Principle causing photons that climb out of the gravitational well to lose energy and redshift therefore it causes a substantial redshift rather than other effects which are independent.
