General Relativity

According to the general theory of relativity, what are consequences of the curvature of space-time? Check all that apply.

1, 2, & 5 the dilation of time the falling of objects the changing of paths of light

Which statements explain the special theory of relativity? Check all that apply.

1, 2, 4, & 5 Time and space are relative. The speed of light in a vacuum is constant for all observers. Physical laws remain constant regardless of an observer's motion. The special theory of relativity applies to objects with constant velocity.

Which statement describes the effects of acceleration in space, based on the general theory of relativity?

A. Acceleration in space has the same effects as a gravitational field.

Which of these is a result of gravitational lensing?

A. the formation of multiple images of the same object

In what respect is the universal law of gravitation similar to Einstein's view of gravity in his general theory of relativity?

B. The mass of an object affects gravity.

What is the name of the phenomenon that causes observed light from a star to change its wavelength?

gravitational redshift

According to the general theory of relativity, what causes the bending of light in space?

C. the curvature of space-time
