← ScienceWhich mechanism significantly alters light frequency near blackhole?
A)Gravitational redshift shifts towards red✓
B)Increased dispersion causes spectral blurring
C)Increased intensity enables Doppler compensation
D)Refraction induces spectral blue shifting
💡 Explanation
Gravitational redshift causes a frequency decrease because gravitational potential affects spacetime; the extreme curvature close to a black hole increases redshift. Therefore, light shifts towards red, rather than dispersive blurring arising from interfaces elsewhere.
