Why hypsochromic shift is known as blue shift but not violet shift?

hypsochromic (blue) shift


Is the big bang theory supported by the blue violet shift?

Outside of our Local Group, no galaxy gives off light that exhibits a blue-shift. You most likely meant to say "red shift."


What happens to light waves along the visible spectrum moving from red to violet?

As light waves move from red to violet along the visible spectrum, their wavelengths decrease and their frequencies increase. Red light has longer wavelengths and lower frequencies, while violet light has shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies. This shift in wavelength is perceived as a shift in color by our eyes.

Does the velocity of a star toward or away from earth determine measuring the shift of its spectral lines?

Yes. If the star is moving away from the Earth, its spectral lines will shift towards the red end of the spectrum. If it is moving towards the Earth, its spectral lines will shift towards the violet end of the spectrum. This is due to Doppler effect.

What causes a red shift?

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.


If the Doppler shift indicated that the shift was to blue-violet on the spectrum would the Big Bang theory?

If the Doppler shift indicated a blue-violet shift in the spectrum of distant galaxies, it would suggest that those galaxies are moving toward us rather than away, contradicting the current understanding of the expanding universe as described by the Big Bang theory. The Big Bang theory is supported by the observation of redshift in the light from distant galaxies, indicating they are receding due to the expansion of the universe. A blue shift would imply a contraction or a different cosmic scenario, prompting a reevaluation of fundamental cosmological principles. Thus, it would challenge the prevailing model of cosmic expansion.
