← ScienceWhich result confirms gravitational and inertial frame equivalence?
A)Light bends near massive objects.✓
B)Time slows with increased velocity.
C)Energy is conserved at equilibrium.
D)Momentum changes upon mass increase.
💡 Explanation
Light bending confirms space-time curvature because the gravitational field is equivalent to an accelerating frame of reference, a validation of Einstein's equivalence principle; therefore light bends, rather than travel straight or experience other phenomena at the quantum level.
