What is the violet shift?
The violet shift refers to the shifting of spectral lines towards shorter wavelengths in the spectrum of a celestial object. This can occur when an object is moving away from an observer. In the context of cosmology, it is a key piece of evidence supporting the expansion of the universe.
Scientists' evidence for an expanding universe is called a because the light waves emitted by stars and galaxies are shifting toward the end of the visible color spectrum.?
Many objects observed in the universe show a red shift. It is believed that this red shift is caused by a Doppler effect - that is, that the objects are moving away from us at a significant fraction of the speed of light. If this is true, then it is evidence for an expanding universe.
What is the evidence of motion of the universe?
The most important piece of evidence that shows that the universe is in motion is the Doppler Effect, also termed the red shift. This basically means that objects headed away the observer will have their light bent toward the "red" (lower frequency) side of the light spectrum while objects headed toward the observer will have their light bent toward the "blue" (higher frequency) end of the spectrum. By using the Doppler Effect we are able to that the majority of the universe is in motion, expanding outward.
What are the best indications that the universe is expanding?
One of the best indications that the universe is expanding is the redshift of light from distant galaxies, which shows that they are moving away from us. Another indication is the cosmic microwave background radiation, which is consistent with an expanding universe. Additionally, observations of the distribution of galaxies and the large-scale structure of the universe support the idea of expansion.
How did the Doppler effect lead to the Big Bang theory?
Actually, it wasn't the Doppler-effect that lead to the Big Bang theory, but the red-shift of remote galaxies. Although it was initially thought that this red-shift might be caused by a Doppler-effect, it is now understood that this red-shift is caused by the metric expansion of space itself.
Why big bang theory is presented?
It is quite clear, from the Doppler effect, that the Universe is expanding.It is quite clear, from the Doppler effect, that the Universe is expanding.It is quite clear, from the Doppler effect, that the Universe is expanding.It is quite clear, from the Doppler effect, that the Universe is expanding.

The shifting of lightwaves as an object moves away from the observer is what?
The Doppler effect
The increase in frequency of an approaching source of electromagnetic radiation is termed the?
Doppler effect
What does the Doppler Effect tell astronomers about the universe?
It tells us that the Universe is expanding.
Can the speed of light be used to find the velocity of the earth relative to the rest of the universe ie red or blue shifting of light emitted on earth?
Yes, this is used to make estimates/It is called the Doppler effect
What information using the Doppler shift have you found about the movement of stars and galaxies within your universe?
The universe is expanding.
What is meant by red shift and what cause it?
Red shift is the phenomenon where light from an object in space appears to have a longer wavelength, shifting towards the red end of the spectrum. It is caused by the stretching of light waves due to the expansion of the universe, known as the Doppler effect.
Is the Doppler effect is the same as sound waves?
I fear you're confused - BUT : The Doppler effect is similar for both sound waves and electromagnetic radiation (light, radar).
Can Doppler's Effect only be observed in sound waves?
No. We observe the Doppler Effect in all forms of waves, including sound waves and all forms of electromagnetic radiation.
Does the absorption spectrum of hydrogen change with discrete values due to the Doppler effect and the expansion of the universe?
It's not "and the expansion of the universe", it's "or" the expansion of the universe. The Accepted Answer energy can only exist in descreat quantities by the Plank constant. So the Doppler effect would also be quatisised although in very small amounts.
How did the big bang come into mind?
For example, it can clearly be seen - by the Doppler effect - that the Universe is expanding.
