← ScienceWhich effect on radio signals occurs when transmitted near a black hole's event horizon?
A)Gravitational redshift of signal frequency✓
B)Increased signal propagation due Doppler Effect
C)Increased signal strength due to masering
D)Blueshift propagation to smaller wavelengths
💡 Explanation
Gravitational fields cause the distortion of spacetime, therefore the observed frequency of the signal decreases due to gravitational redshift because photons lose energy escaping the gravity well, rather than blueshift resulting from motion.
