Its job in the formula

f is part of the quantity the equation computes from the expression on the right.

The passage around this formula

​ d t , with f(r) = 1-2GM/(rc2c^2) for Schwarzschild. A locally conserved (Killing) energy E∞E_\infty — the energy the same quantity would be assigned by a distant static observer — and the energy measured by the local static observer, ElocE_{\rm loc} , are related by the standard blueshift-on-the-way-down relation
