What is red-shift and what does the size of the redshift tell us about the distant galaxies?
Red shift is the apparent elongation of the wavelength of light reaching us from distant sources of light due to the expansion of space in between. The amount of red shift can be used to work out the recessional velocity of a galaxy and it's distance from us.
What determines galaxy motion and distance?
One of the most reliable methods employed presently is using Hubbles Laws and Constant, utilizing the red shift. RED SHIFT A+LS (:
What is the importance of the light red shift in determining the age and motion of stars?
Red shift is of virtually no importance in determining the age of stars within our galaxy or local group. But the red shift is crucial for measuring relative velocities of those stars with respect to us. Stars approaching us are blue shifted, such as the stars in the Andromeda Galaxy. We can also determine which direction the galaxy is spinning, as the light of stars one one side will be shifted less than the light of the stars in front, or on the other side. Starlight from galaxies well beyond our local group are uniformly shifted towards the infrared end of the visible spectrum, varying with the distance of those galaxies from us. The further away they are, the deeper red the light is from them, indicating the greater their recessional velocity. I cannot think how stellar age might correlate with red shift.
What is the red shift of hydrogen?
The red shift depends on the relative motion of the emitting source and receiving detector. Hydrogen per se has no red shift. There is hydrogen with great red shift (in stars in galaxies far away that are moving rapidly away from us).
What does red shift show?
The red shift shows the velocity with which an object is moving away from the earth. The red shift of an object is correlated to its distance from the earth and so it is also a measure of the distance.

What is the shift in the light of a galaxy toward the red wavelength called?
This phenomenon is called red shift.
