The red shift IS the Doppler Effect. I use the sound of a car or motor bike passing by on a road. The high pitch of the approaching vehicle suddenly drops to a low pitch as it speeds by and retreats.

Note:

Cosmological redshift is not attributed to the Doppler Effect, but to the metric expansion of the universe.

How is red-shift used today?

Red-shift is used today in astronomy to determine the distance and speed of celestial objects such as stars, galaxies, and other cosmic phenomena. It helps scientists understand the expansion of the universe and track the movement of objects in space. Additionally, red-shift is used in various fields of science to study the Doppler effect and analyze the movement of objects relative to the observer.


How does red shift support the steady state theory?

Red shift supports the steady state theory in that the red shift indicates the Continuity Condition. Steady State means Conservation of Energy and does not require an expanding universe. It is the misunderstanding of red shift that adds the requirement of an expanding universe and the need for continuous creation.Hubble saw red shift as a "hitherto unrecognized principle of nature", not an expansion of the universe. less prudent physicists have misunderstood red shift. Red shift is an indicator of "continuity condition" and the result of centrifugal force balancing gravitational centripetal force.Steady State is the proper term for Conservation of Energy or Homeostasis, which seems to characterize the universe. "Steady State Theory" without expansion is well supported by red shift.The proper Theory of Gravity, E = -mu/r + mcV, accounts for 'dark Energy and red shift" and a finite universe.

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.


Who discovered the Doppler red shift?

Christian Doppler, an Austrian physicist, is credited with discovering the phenomenon of the Doppler red shift in 1842. He observed that the pitch of sound waves from a moving object changes depending on the object's motion relative to the observer. His theory was later extended to light waves to explain the red shift observed in the spectra of distant galaxies.

What is happening to Galaxies during red shift?

The commonly accepted explanation is that they move away from us. The redshift in this case is caused by the Doppler effect. Answer2 During red shift, the Galaxies are in continuity, experiencing a centrifugal force that balances a center seeking centripetal force. The red shift is not an indicator of the galaxies moving away from us. The red shift is mis-understood. Edwin Hubble believed that the red shift is a "hitherto unrecognized principle of nature". The red shift is a centripetal force factor, similar to the Fine Structure constant, associated with the Potential Energy. The Earth has a red shift = v/c= .0001 indicating that the earth is attracted to the orbit center. The angle off attraction is cos A= .0001 gives the angle 89 degrees 59 ' 39". This angle is the angle between the radius and te earth's velocity vector. The red shift is derived from the "Dark Energy" of the earth, mcV. Red shift is the cosine of the centrifugal force derived from the Divergence of the vector energy (Dark Energy), - mcDEl.V= - mcv/r cosV. More could be said, but the galaxies are in continuity balance during red shift.


Explain why some stars in the milky way galaxy have a blue shift Doppler effect and other stars in the milky way have a red shift Doppler?

A blue-shift means an object is moving towards us, a red-shift means it is moving away from us. Blue-shift and red-shift are changes in frequency of the light we receive, due to the relative movement. This is called the Doppler effect.

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.
