← ScienceWhich mechanism causes photon redshift when exiting a black hole's gravity well?
A)Tidal forces spaghettify matter
B)Frame dragging distorts spacetime
C)Gravitational redshift lowers frequency✓
D)Synchrotron radiation causes energy loss
💡 Explanation
Gravitational redshift occurs, because photons lose energy climbing out of the black hole's intense gravitational field, shifting via spacetime curvature towards lower frequencies. Therefore, redshift dominates rather than frequency remaining constant or blueshifting given escape conditions.
