← ScienceWhich phenomenon results when accelerating particles approach lightspeed?
A)Increase in observed particle mass✓
B)Decrease in rate of nuclear decay
C)Blueshift of emitted radiation increases
D)Spacetime distortion effects minimized
💡 Explanation
Increased energies cause extreme spacetime curvature near the particle; this manifests via relativistic mass increase because spacetime resists further acceleration near 'c'. Therefore the mass increases, rather than decay slowing or blueshift, because they change due to different relative phenomena.
