Which outcome occurs when gravitational red-shift acts upon electromagnetic radiation?

A)Photon frequency decreases accordingly
B)Speed of photons decreases drastically
C)Wavelength of emitted light decreases
D)Observed luminosity rapidly intensifies

💡 Explanation

A change in gravitational potential causes frequency shift via gravitational red-shift from strong mass-energy equivalence; because photons lose energy escaping higher potential field areas, therefore the frequency decreases rather than shifting wavelength.
