That is the textbook equation
FREQUENCY = (SPEED OF LIGHT)/(WAVELENGTH)
Since the frequency often shifts (confirmed experimentally) the
equation tells you that either the speed of light or the wavelength
shifts as well and Einsteinians would (and sometimes try to)
wholeheartedly explain why it is the wavelength that shifts if it were
not almost obvious that the frequency shift is due to VARIABILITY OF
THE SPEED OF LIGHT. In moments of mental aberration Einsteinians
explicitly admit this:
http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae13.cfm: "So, it is
absolutely true that the speed of light is _not_ constant in a
gravitational field [which, by the equivalence principle, applies as
well to accelerating (non-inertial) frames of reference]....Indeed, this
is exactly how Einstein did the calculation in: "On the Influence of
Gravitation on the Propagation of Light," Annalen der Physik, 35,
1911. which predated the full formal development of general relativity
by about four years. This paper is widely available in English. You
can find a copy beginning on page 99 of the Dover book "The Principle
of Relativity." You will find in section 3 of that paper, Einstein's
derivation of the (variable) speed of light in a gravitational
potential, eqn (3). The result is, c'=c0(1+V/c^2) where V is the
gravitational potential relative to the point where the speed of light
c0 is measured."
