Red shift / Blue Shift - Gravity Well Roundtrip

[QUOTE="D.S.Beyer, post: 6399298, member: 247660"] [B]TL;DR Summary:[/B] Does wavelength change from trips through gravity wells? If I shine a white light out into space from Earth, and it bends around a black hole and comes straight back to me so I can see it in my telescope, is the light red or blue shifted, or neither? For sake of the thought experiment, let’s leave out cosmic expansion that would stretch it on it’s journey, and let’s say my frame of reference doesn’t move so we can leave out any doppler shift. I am purely interested if there is any effect on the light from going in and out of gravity wells. Does it return to its original wavelength (if viewed from the reference frame of its origination)?
