When a light source is receding away from an observer then due to Doppler effect the frequency would appear to fall. Hence the colour would be shifted towards the red end. Hence red shift

Same way as the source is apporaching the observer, then frequency would appear to increase and so it moves towards violet. Hence violet shift.

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.


How is light red shifted?

Light is red-shifted when the source of the light is moving away from the observer. This causes the wavelength of the light to stretch, resulting in a shift towards the red end of the electromagnetic spectrum. This phenomenon is a consequence of the Doppler effect in physics.


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 shift in the light of a galaxy toward the red wavelength called?

This phenomenon is called 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.


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.
