Galaxy redshift is much light the Doppler effect. If a galaxy is traveling away from us, the light that it emits and is seen by us is stretched out (the faster we are separating, the stronger the redshift), that means that the wavelegnth is stretched a bit, shifting the light towards red.

When an accretion disk viewed from the side will cause what to be present in the spectrum of a Seyfert galaxy?
When an accretion disk is viewed from the side in a Seyfert galaxy, it can cause broad emission lines in the spectrum due to the Doppler effect. The varying velocities of gas in the disk lead to redshifted and blueshifted emissions, resulting in a characteristic broadening of spectral lines. Additionally, the disk's temperature can contribute to a continuum emission that is often observed in the ultraviolet and optical wavelengths. This combination of features helps to identify the presence of an active galactic nucleus (AGN) in Seyfert galaxies.
When the spectrum of light from a star is Redshifted the star must be what?
When the spectrum of light from a star is redshifted, it indicates that the star is moving away from the observer. This is due to the Doppler effect, where the wavelengths of light stretch, causing them to shift toward the red end of the spectrum. Redshift can also suggest the star is part of an expanding universe, as seen in distant galaxies. Overall, redshift is a key indicator of the star's velocity relative to Earth.
What is the shape of Andromeda?
The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy, just like our own galaxy (the Milky Way).The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy, just like our own galaxy (the Milky Way).The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy, just like our own galaxy (the Milky Way).The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy, just like our own galaxy (the Milky Way).
The redshift of galaxies in the universe is correctly interpreted as?
The redshift of galaxies is caused by 3 effects: Doppler effect, Expansion of space and gravitational effects. The further away a galaxy is from us the more it is redshifted (from this it can also be deduced that the further a galaxy is from us the faster it is traveling away from us assuming all galaxies started at the same point - aka 'The Big Bang').In short the interpretation of redshift is both speed and distance from us to the galaxy in question.
What is a spherical cluster of stars?
That is called a globular cluster.
If light from galaxies is redshifted what can astronomers conclude about galaxies?
That the galaxy is moving away from us.
How does light from distant galaxy . galaxy out side of 32000000 light years support the big bang theory?
The light from distant galaxies is redshifted. The only reasonable explanation for that is that the galaxies are moving away from us.
What are some objects that are not redshifted?
Objects within the solar system.
Why is light increasingly redshifted as it approaches a black hole?
Light is increasingly redshifted as it approaches a black hole due to the strong gravitational pull of the black hole. This gravitational pull causes the light waves to stretch out, which results in the light being shifted towards the red end of the spectrum.
A spectral line that appears at a wavelength of 321 nm in the laboratory appears at a wavelength of 328 nm in the spectrum of a distant obect we say that the object's spectrum is?
A spectral line that appears at a wavelength of 321 nm in the laboratory appears at a wavelength of 328 nm in the spectrum of a distant object. We say that the object's spectrum is red shifted.
Can the CMBR be redshifted starlight?
The odds are very much against it. The CMB matches expectations following from the Big Bang too well for it to be coincidental.

How red shift connect with universe expanding?
The expansion of the Universe results in the light from faraway galaxies being redshifted. This is called the "cosmological redshift"; it can be compared with the Doppler effect (which also causes a redshift), but the details are somewhat difference.It is an observed fact that most galaxies are redshifted; the explanation that seems most reasonable is that it is caused by the cosmological redshift. This means that space itself is expanding.
What type of galaxy is our galaxy?
Our galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy.
Is the Andromeda galaxy an elliptical galaxy?
The Andromeda Galaxy is a spiral galaxy.
What is the type of our galaxy?
Our galaxy is a spiral galaxy because it is spiral in shape.
What galaxy is considered nearest to our galaxy?
Not counting the Magellanic Clouds (which are minielliptical galaxies orbiting our galaxy), the Andromeda galaxy is the galaxy nearest to our galaxy.
