Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Light bends as it passes near a massive star or traverses any gravitational field due to the curvature of spacetime around the mass, according to general relativity. When light is emitted from a massive star, it is red-shifted due to the gravitational pull of the star, which stretches the wavelengths of the light as it escapes, making them longer and shifting them towards the red part of the spectrum.
