← ScienceWhich outcome results when inertial mass increases due to equivalence?
A)Increased gravitational lensing near blackhole✓
B)Decreased nuclear fusion within stars
C)Uniform expansion of planetary orbits
D)Greater efficiency in rocket propulsion
💡 Explanation
The Einstein equivalence principle predicts spacetime curvature; photons deflect more when mass increases, because gravitational lensing directly relates to increased spacetime curvature nearby, rather than changes in nuclear processes or celestial mechanics. Therefore lensing increases; rather than orbital expansion or fusion dropping.
