← ScienceWhich signal distortion results when light bends near matter?
A)Gravitational lensing magnifies distant objects✓
B)Refraction creates spectral line shifts
C)Doppler shifts alter light frequency
D)Chromatic aberration blurs image edges
💡 Explanation
Gravitational lensing occurs because photons follow curved paths due to the curvature of spacetime caused by massive objects; therefore the image is magnified, rather than spectral shifts, because it affects the path rather than the frequency directly.
