GK Question

Strong gravitational lensing by massive galaxy clusters can produce:

  1. Einstein rings
  2. Multiple images of background sources
  3. Magnification of faint objects
  4. All of these

Answer: All of these

Massive objects bend spacetime, deflecting light from background sources. Strong lensing creates arcs, rings, multiple images; used to map dark matter, study early galaxies. ISRO's AstroSat contributes to multi-wavelength lensing studies. [[NCERT Physics Class 11, IUCAA Reports]]
