How are Doppler blue and red shift different?
A blue shift is observed in the spectrum from an object approaching the observer whereas a red shift is observed for a receding object.
How does blue and red shift help us understand the changes of the universe?
Red shift has confirmed the expansion of universe. Both red and blue shift at the edges of the sun has confirmed the spin of sun..
Can a red shift and a blue shift exist on the same object at the same time?
No.
How is the red shift different than the blue shift?
Radiation from a source moving away from the observer is red-shifted. Radiation from a source moving towards the observer is blue-shifted.
Why are red shift and blue shift effects useful in the study of the universe?
Red shift means that other objects in the universe are moving away and blue shift means they are moving toward you. This helps to tell where these objects came from, and this knowledge helps predict where they are going to.
How does a red shift from a blue shift?
A red shift shows us that a object is moving away, while a blue shift shows us an object is moving toward us. Light that has been 'red shifted' has a longer wavelength when it reaches our eyes/telescopes/etc. than it had when it left the object. Light that has been 'blue shifted' now has a shorter wavelength. The reason stretching the wavelength is known as 'red shifting' is that, in the visible spectrum, red light has the longest wavelength. Blue light has a much shorter wavelength than red so when the wavelength is compressed, we call it blue shifting.
What did hubble discover as a result of studying red shift of distant galaxies?
that the universe was in 1904 expanding. this was due to the lack of blue shift, therefor it can be deduced that the red shift in orrcuring within the galaxy.

Is the big bang theory supported by the blue violet shift?
Outside of our Local Group, no galaxy gives off light that exhibits a blue-shift. You most likely meant to say "red shift."
Why is light from the Andromeda galaxy is affectedly blueshift?
because when the blue shift hits the red shift they complete a reround in the galxey
Would a light source moving away from Earth appear blue shifted or red shifted?
A red shift indicates an object that is moving away from the observer, and a blue shift indicates an object that is moving toward the observer. Both of these are called Doppler shifts.
Does a red shift indicates that objects are moving toward earth?
Red shift occurs when an object moves away from the observer. So as you are on Earth, it is when objects move away from Earth. (Blue shift as it moves closer.) A star's red shift could be due to losing energy to gravity.
