Which mechanism causes gravitational blue shifting of photons?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational blue shift occurs because spacetime curvature increases near massive objects. Climbing out of a gravitational well shortens the photon's wavelength due to gravitational potential energy changing into photon energy; therefore, frequency increases, rather than cosmological expansion causing red shift under different conditions.
