← ScienceWhich consequence results when light passes immense gravitational fields?
A)Photons lose or gain energy✓
B)Frequency remains demonstrably invariant
C)Energy is perfectly, totally conserved
D)Wavelength shift does not eventuate
💡 Explanation
The photon shifts toward blue or red because gravity warps spacetime via Einstein's general relativity, causing gravitational redshift/blueshift. Light loses/gains energy overcoming this curvature, therefore photon shifts energy, rather than conserving it, without interaction.
