Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Where does the remainder of the energy from a mass falling into a blackhole go?

Here we have a moving mirror and a light beam dobbler redshifting. Where might part of the energy of the beam go?

Here is a mirror coated box moving to the right. A light beam is bouncing inside the box. Note that hitting the left side wall makes the light bluer, and hitting the right side wall makes the light redder.

Here we have a tube, moving downwards at constant speed, and a light beam is bouncing inside the tube. There is a gravity field too. Note that light does not hit the wall that would make light more blue, only the wall that makes light more red, and the side walls, that don't cause any change in light.
