Effect of a rapid increase in the strength of the gravitational field on the propagation of electromagnetic radiation

Abstract

This article examines the shift in the frequency of an electromagnetic wave as it passes through a region of space in which the strength of the gravitational field increases rapidly. It is shown that charge or current in a region of space with a variable gravitational field radiates electromagnetic waves.
