← ScienceWhich phenomenon explains the increased gravitational lensing when light passes near a neutron star?
A)Spacetime curvature becomes significant✓
B)Increased particle pair production occurs
C)Hawking radiation emission intensifies greatly
D)Neutron degeneracy pressure suddenly fails
💡 Explanation
Increased lensing occurs when spacetime curvature increases due to extreme mass concentration, deflecting light more strongly because of the strong gravitational fields; therefore, spacetime curvature explains increased lensing, rather than related phenomena like Hawking radiation affecting photon paths.
