The name "redshift" comes from the fact that when the energy of light decreases, the lines of a spectrum, for visible light, will change, or shift, towards the red end - the low energy end. This term is really only appropriate for visible light, but it is generally used for a decrease in energy. In infrared light, a reduction in energy will actually shift the spectrum AWAY from red, but the term "redshift" is still used in this case.

If a star moves away from earth when all lines shift to where the waves are longer is what?
That is called "redshift".That is called "redshift".That is called "redshift".That is called "redshift".
What is the redshift star?
The redshift is caused by relative motion that increases the distance from the source to the observer. The faster the source of light is moving away to the observer, the greater the redshift
What causes a cosmological redshift?
A redshift occurs when the wavelengths increase in objects by light or electromagnetic radiation levels in an object. In cosmological redshift also has to do with light; however, instead of an increase in wavelengths, there is an expansion of the universe.
Would the big bang theory help explain the shift?
I presume the question refers to the "redshift" of distant galaxies. Actually it is the other way around - i.e. the Doppler redshift helps to support and explain the Big Bang Theory. This "redshift" is called the "cosmological redshift". Strictly speaking, it's not the Doppler effect.
Is a redshift of 5 equal to a light travel distance of 12.5 billion years?
Yes, a redshift of 5 does equal to a light travel distance of 12.5 billion years.
When will the Nerf redshift cs 6 come out in Massachusetts?
The Redshift CS-6 will never come out in Massachusetts because it was never released, and instead was worked into the Longstrike CS-6 which you can buy right now in Massachusetts.

That is called "redshift".That is called "redshift".That is called "redshift".That is called "redshift".
Will the redshift cs-12 come out?
yes, but, it is no longer called the "redshift", it is called the longstrike, and is slated to come out in the spring of 2010. But since the raider came out earlier than it said you can get your hopes up to come out earlier than spring -check out sgnerf.com to see the longstrike!!!
When dus the Nerf redshift cs-12 come?
it is unknown if it will comeout but it would be cool
Is the Nerf redshift out in Florida?
The Nerf Redshift was a Nerf Sniper rifle from the Nerf Wii game. Some of the guns there had a patent pending, but I don't think Redshift was on the list. If it was then it should come out next year or later depending on when the patent is accepted (if it is), if it is then it should be pretty good for sniping in a Nerf war.
When did Quantum Redshift happen?
Quantum Redshift happened in 2002.
When was The Redshift created?
The Redshift was created on 2008-09-22.
Does red shift expand the universe?
Redshift does not expand the universe. Redshift is a physical quantity that is used to describe the expansion of the universe. The current time has a redshift of zero. at redshift 1, the universe was half the size it is now. At redshift 2, the universe was 1/3 the size it is now, and so on. if redshift is z, then (size of universe at redshift z)/(current size of universe)= 1/(z+1)
When was Quantum Redshift created?
Quantum Redshift was created on 2002-09-17.
What is the redshift star?
The redshift is caused by relative motion that increases the distance from the source to the observer. The faster the source of light is moving away to the observer, the greater the redshift
What is the code on Wii for redshift cs-12?
The code for the redshift cs-12 is........................ Ping
What is the name for the change in the star's spectrum when it moves away from earth?
That is called "redshift". The frequency of the radiation decreases.
