Frequency shifts that occur between objects moving in gravitational fields are caused by a combination of the classical Doppler shift and relativistic time dilation. The method of obtaining relativistic Doppler formulas by multiplying together classical and relativistic quantities is shown to be invalid. An exact formula for the general relativistic effect does not exist; approximations of a sufficient accuracy, however, are procurable.
