Which effect occurs on atomic clock timing when raised in gravitational potential?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational time dilation, a consequence of Einstein's equivalence principle, causes a gravitational redshift lowering the observed frequency because photons lose energy escaping the gravitational field. The clock appears slower at higher potentials therefore redshift occurs, rather than blueshift in stronger gravitational fields.
