The name "redshift" comes from the fact that when the energy of light decreases, the lines of a spectrum, for visible light, will change, or shift, towards the red end - the low energy end. This term is really only appropriate for visible light, but it is generally used for a decrease in energy. In infrared light, a reduction in energy will actually shift the spectrum AWAY from red, but the term "redshift" is still used in this case.

If a star moves away from earth when all lines shift to where the waves are longer is what?

This phenomenon is known as redshift, which occurs when light from a moving object is shifted to longer wavelengths as it moves away from an observer. Redshift is a key piece of evidence supporting the theory of an expanding universe, as it indicates that galaxies are moving away from each other.


What does it mean that quasars are most common at a redshift of about 2?

Quasars being most common at a redshift of around 2 means that they were more prevalent in the universe's past. The redshift indicates their distance and age, suggesting that quasars were more abundant when the universe was younger. This redshift value corresponds to a time when many galaxies were undergoing intense star formation and black hole activity, leading to more quasars.


Is a redshift of 5 equal to a light travel distance of 12.5 billion years?

Yes, a redshift of 5 does equal to a light travel distance of 12.5 billion years.


What causes a cosmological redshift?

A redshift occurs when the wavelengths increase in objects by light or electromagnetic radiation levels in an object. In cosmological redshift also has to do with light; however, instead of an increase in wavelengths, there is an expansion of the universe.


What is the redshift star?

Redshift of a star refers to the phenomenon where the light emitted by the star is shifted towards the red end of the electromagnetic spectrum due to the star moving away from us. This shift is caused by the Doppler effect and is commonly used to determine the speed and direction of a star's movement.

When will the Nerf redshift cs 6 come out in Massachusetts?

The Redshift CS-6 will never come out in Massachusetts because it was never released, and instead was worked into the Longstrike CS-6 which you can buy right now in Massachusetts.


Will the redshift cs-12 come out?

yes, but, it is no longer called the "redshift", it is called the longstrike, and is slated to come out in the spring of 2010. But since the raider came out earlier than it said you can get your hopes up to come out earlier than spring -check out sgnerf.com to see the longstrike!!!


When dus the Nerf redshift cs-12 come?

it is unknown if it will comeout but it would be cool


Is the Nerf redshift out in Florida?

The Nerf Redshift was a Nerf Sniper rifle from the Nerf Wii game. Some of the guns there had a patent pending, but I don't think Redshift was on the list. If it was then it should come out next year or later depending on when the patent is accepted (if it is), if it is then it should be pretty good for sniping in a Nerf war.
