On the gravitational redshifts of spectral lines - A critico-historical study
arXiv:1102.5394
Abstract
A beautiful, detailed computation by Whittaker has enabled us to prove in a rigorous way that the gravitationally redshifted frequency of a monochromatic e.m. wave sent forth at the surface of a celestial body is propagated unaltered from the emitting source to terrestrial observers. We remark that in the customary treatments only qualitative and inaccurate justifications of this fact are given.
