← ScienceWhich outcome results when gravitational and inertial accelerations are indistinguishable to an observer inside a closed elevator, consistently obeying Einstein's Equivalence Principle?
A)Light paths bend equivalently toward floor.✓
B)Energy decreases when converted to mass.
C)Frame dragging effects becomes negligible.
D)Spacetime warps disproportionately near mass.
💡 Explanation
Light bends because the Equivalence Principle posits gravitational fields mimic acceleration; therefore, light's path deflects similarly. This occurs rather than other gravitational effects overwhelming inertial ones, under ideal principle conditions.
