Write
For a static observer, . Conservation of the photon's Killing energy therefore gives the gravitational redshift between static Schwarzschild observers
For the stated distant observer, and , so
As , the observed wavelength tends to infinity: light emitted from a static source arbitrarily near the Schwarzschild event horizon is infinitely redshifted at infinity.
