← ScienceWhich shift occurs when gravity warps spacetime near objects?
A)Photon energy increases towards blue✓
B)Electron mass reduces proportionally
C)Nuclear binding energy increases
D)Molecular vibrational modes slow
💡 Explanation
Due to the equivalence principle, gravity warps spacetime effecting gravitational blueshift; frequency increases, which is a frequency shift. Therefore photon energy increases rather than decreases, because higher frequency means higher energy, and not affecting inner molecular bonds.
