The spectrum of light emitted from heated hydrogen has dark lines, caused by the absorption of a very narrow wavelength band of light. These dark lines always take the same location relative to each other. If all the lines in an object's spectrum are shifted by the same amount, towards the red end of the visible spectrum, then the light is "red shifted." The amount of the shift is often described with a number 'z', where z equals the shift in wavelength divided by the wavelength as originally emitted by the object.

How can scientists calculate the age of the universe using red shift?
Scientists use the red shift of light from distant galaxies to measure their distance from us. By measuring the rate of expansion of the universe using red shift data, scientists can calculate the age of the universe, known as the Hubble time, which is currently estimated to be around 13.8 billion years.
Can a red shift and a blue shift exist on the same object at the same time?
No, red shift and blue shift are opposite phenomena caused by the Doppler effect. Red shift occurs when an object is moving away from the observer, while blue shift occurs when an object is moving towards the observer. It is not possible for an object to exhibit both red shift and blue shift simultaneously.
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.
How does red-shift support the steady state theory?
Red shift does not support the steady state theory.

When was The Red Shift created?
The Red Shift was created in 2005-06.
What is the opposite of the red shift?
The opposite of the red shift is the purple shift.

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

How does red-shift support the steady state theory?
Red shift does not support the steady state theory.
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..
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.
Need to know facts about red shift?
you should probably ask your docter about that if ur having red shift
