If we witness events occurring on the Moon, where gravitation is weaker than on Earth, would we expect to see a gravitational red shift or a gravitational blue shift? Explain.
Solution 17E Introduction If the frequency of electromagnetic radiation originates from a source which is in a gravitational field reduces, there will be a gravitational redshift for the electromagnetic radiation. Similarly, if the frequency of electromagnetic radiation originates from a source which is in a gravitational force field increases, there will be a gravitational blueshift for the electromagnetic radiation. Step 1 Here, they have provided that, the event is happening in moon. The gravitational force is weak at moon while comparing it with the earth. So, we should consider the time dilation factor to discuss about the change in frequency of the event. The gravitational time dilation is the time elapsed between two events as seen by the observer situated at different frames in which the influence of gravitational...
