← ScienceWhich perceived shift occurs in gravitational lensing around a black hole?
A)Distortion of background object images✓
B)Increased redshift of emitted energy
C)Decrease in the event horizon size
D)Suppression of Hawking radiation emission
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing causes distortion because curved spacetime acts like a lens, bending light paths according to Einstein's equivalence principle. Therefore, background objects appear warped rather than only redshifting; different paths experience differential delays.
