← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when gravity red shifts photons?
A)Time slows in stronger gravity✓
B)Wavelength shortens significantly
C)Observed mass always decreases
D)Energy remains uniformly constant
💡 Explanation
Time slows because of gravitational time dilation; the equivalence principle stipulates gravity warping spacetime and altering photon frequency. Photons lose energy climbing out of a gravitational well; therefore, time dilation occurs, rather than wavelength decreases, requiring mass change.
