Which phenomenon causes increased gamma ray frequency at Earth's surface?

💡 Explanation

Gravitational redshift causes photon frequency shift because as the photon falls, gravity does work, imparting more energy via the equivalence principle. Therefore, frequency rises rather than decreasing, because the photon gains, not loses, gravitational potential energy.
