Holger Muller and Stephen Chu recently published a method of measuring this effect using matter waves in cesium atoms. One experiment to measure this effect placed a high-frequency hydrogen MASER on a rocket and launched it into orbit. The fractional change in this effect is equal to one-half times the Schwarzchild radius divided by R-star, for large R-star, which is double the change predicted by Newtonian physics. An experiment measuring this effect, used a pair of loudspeaker cones containing samples of Iron-57, one of the roof of Jefferson laboratory and one in the basement. That experiment was performed by Pound and Rebka. For 10 points, name this effect predicted by general relativity, in which light shining up a gravity well acquire a longer wavelength.
