What is The apparent change in position of an object with respect with respect to a distant background is called?

Parallax id the apparent shift in position of an object with respect to the background due to a shift in view point.


Why the red shift in light from distant galaxies indicate that the universe is expanding?

Red shift is observed in the spectrum of light from an object when it is moving away from the observer. Most astronomical objects display a red shift in their light. Also, the red shift is greater for objects which are further away. For this to happen - in all directions, the universe must be expanding.


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.


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.

How does the focal length of the lens change when you sift looking from a distant object to nearby object?

When shifting focus from a distant object to a nearby object, the lens focal length increases to bring the nearby object into focus. This adjustment allows the lens to refract light rays at different angles to converge at the sensor or film plane, producing a sharp image of the nearby object.


What is it called when the apperent shift in the position of an object when viewed from two locations?

Parallax is the apparent difference in the position of a nearer object, compared to more distant background objects, when viewed from two different positions.

What apparent shift in position of an object that results from the motion of the observer?

Parallax is the apparent shift in position of an object when viewed from different angles or positions. This phenomenon is often used in astronomy to measure distances to nearby stars by observing their slight change in position relative to more distant stars as the Earth moves around the Sun.

How can two different opbjects with different speeds give off the same red shift?

No one ever said that they do. In fact, the only way we know a distant object's [radial] speed is through its red shift. So if two objects have the same red shift, then as far as anybody knows, they have the same speed.

What is the apparent movement of and object across a background when observed from two different places?

Parallax is the apparent shift in position of an object when viewed from two different locations. It is used to measure distances to nearby stars and celestial objects by observing their change in position against more distant stars.


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.
