← ScienceWhich effect on light occurs because spacetime is warped by extreme mass?
A)Gravitational blueshift, increasing photon frequency✓
B)Increased blackbody radiation emission
C)Quantum entanglement between photon pairs
D)Refraction unaffected by surrounding gravity
💡 Explanation
Gravitational blueshift occurs because of the Einstein shift; when a photon climbs out of a gravitational well, it gains energy, and its frequency increases. Therefore blueshift occurs, rather than the other effects which do not connect frequency to gravitational spacetime warp.
