Which consequence results when gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy?

💡 Explanation

Wavelength blueshift occurs because photons gain energy as they fall into a stronger gravitational field via the principle of equivalence turning gravitational potential to kinetic. Therefore, the photon's wavelength shortens, rather than being redshifted during escape from gravity or causing a change in the gravitational constant.
