Science

Which effect is measured, verifying the equivalence principle in gravitational redshift?

A)Photon frequency shifts measurably change.
B)Increased gravitational wave amplitude detected.
C)Neutrino oscillation rates significantly accelerate.
D)Supernova luminosity appears intrinsically brighter.

💡 Explanation

Gravitational redshift tests equivalence via photons losing energy climbing out of a gravity well. The mechanism is photon 's frequency shift because photons experience a change in observed frequency at different gravitational potential. Therefore the photon frequency changes rather than differing arrival times because of dispersion effects.
