Boomerang photons already move at the speed of light, so they don’t pick up any speed from their trips around black holes. But they do pick up energy. That energy takes the form of increased wavelength of the light, and the individual photon “packets” carry more energy than they had when they entered the mirror.
...
Wouldn’t increased energy mean a shorter wavelength?

Yes, I think they probably mean increased frequency, which is shorter wavelength.

Wouldn’t increased energy mean a shorter wavelength?Yes - I noticed that too.
