Which effect on stellar spectra results because gravity emains locally equivalent to accelerating frames?

A)Gravitational redshift of spectral lines
B)Increased line broadening from turbulence
C)Blueshifting from relativistic beaming
D)Emission line increase in intensity

💡 Explanation

The gravitational redshift of spectral lines occurs because photons lose energy escaping a gravitational field, an effect indistinguishable from the Doppler shift therefore showing lower frequency; rather than increased broadening due to turbulence in a different mechanism.
