The process of reversing the shift of electromagnetic waves from higher frequencies to lower frequencies, known as "blueshift," is not possible in the traditional sense. Blueshifting refers to the compression of waves, resulting in shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies.

The shift of visible light to longer wavelengths such as infrared and radio waves is known as "redshifting." Redshifting occurs when an object emitting light moves away from an observer, causing the wavelength of the light to stretch and shift towards longer wavelengths. This phenomenon is commonly observed in cosmology due to the expansion of the universe.

However, extracting images from radio waves or other invisible light frequencies is not possible using traditional imaging methods. Radio waves and other non-visible frequencies have significantly longer wavelengths and lower energy compared to visible light. Traditional optical imaging systems, such as lenses and cameras, are designed to capture and manipulate visible light, utilizing the properties of shorter wavelengths.

To detect and analyze radio waves or other invisible frequencies, specialized instruments and techniques are required. For example, radio telescopes are used to capture and analyze radio waves emitted by celestial objects, but they operate on different principles than optical telescopes. These instruments are specifically designed to receive and interpret signals in their respective frequency ranges.

While it is possible to extract information and obtain images from non-visible frequencies using appropriate instruments and techniques, the process is fundamentally different from traditional optical imaging methods used for visible light. Each frequency range requires specific equipment and methods tailored to the characteristics of the waves involved.
