← ScienceWhich outcome results when light bends around a massive galaxy?
A)Gravitational lensing magnifies background objects✓
B)Redshift increases across the spectral range
C)Doppler shift distorts observed frequencies
D)Chromatic aberration blurs telescopic images
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because spacetime curvature follows the galaxy's mass distribution, deflecting light via the geodesic equation; therefore, the light path bends, magnifying objects, rather than exhibiting redshift or chromatic effects without intervening mass.
