Due to the Doppler effect, the faster a body moves away from you the larger its wavelength - meaning it tends to get more red.
It was discovered that the further away a galaxy is from us, it is moving faster. So large redshift means a galaxy that is very far away.

∙ 15y agoLight coming towards you will have it's wavelength compressed and the light will visibly shift to the high end of the spectrum (violet). This is called blue shift. If the light source is receding, the wavelength is spread out and this is a shift toward the red end of the spectrum, red shift.

∙ 14y agoRed shift is caused by object in space moving away from us. As space expands it appears that stars are moving away from us and are redshifted. From the red shift it is possible to estimate how far away the star is because stars further away are moving away faster.

How do you identify redshift occur in nano particle determination?
As the band gap of the nano particle decreases,the strong absorption edge shift towards red of the electromagnetic spectrum,which is called redshift.
What happens to energy as a wave travels out from its source?
Energy is lost as it travels - thus the wave length grows longer. This is usually called 'redshift' as the wave radiated from the source shifts towards the less energetic red end of the electromagnetic spectrum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum). Wikipedia has more information on redshift - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift.
Is redshift and Doppler effect the same?
No, but they are closely related. Doppler effect is a change of frequency related to relative movement of source and observer. Depending on the relative movement, the perceived frequency may increase or decrease. The term redshift is used specifically in the case of electromagnetic waves (such as light), and specifically if the source and the observer are moving away from each other. In this case, the frequency of the light will decrease.
What happen if a light move closer to the object?
The redshift that scientists speak of in stars, indicating that they are moving away, is complemented by a shift toward the blue in the spectrum by light moving toward a viewer.
What is the definition of nuclear?
definition of nuclear potential
If a star moves away from earth when all lines shift to where the waves are longer is what?
That is called "redshift".That is called "redshift".That is called "redshift".That is called "redshift".
When did Quantum Redshift happen?
Quantum Redshift happened in 2002.
When was The Redshift created?
The Redshift was created on 2008-09-22.
Does red shift expand the universe?
Redshift does not expand the universe. Redshift is a physical quantity that is used to describe the expansion of the universe. The current time has a redshift of zero. at redshift 1, the universe was half the size it is now. At redshift 2, the universe was 1/3 the size it is now, and so on. if redshift is z, then (size of universe at redshift z)/(current size of universe)= 1/(z+1)
When was Quantum Redshift created?
Quantum Redshift was created on 2002-09-17.
What is the redshift star?
The redshift is caused by relative motion that increases the distance from the source to the observer. The faster the source of light is moving away to the observer, the greater the redshift
What is the code on Wii for redshift cs-12?

Will Nerf redshift be on sale before Christmas?
the redshift is fake so no. it would be cool if it was real though.
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 shift did hubble see that supported the big bang theory?
Redshift; the generally accepted explanation for the redshift of distant galaxies is that it is cosmological redshift, caused by the expansion of the Universe. This is somewhat related to the idea of the Doppler effect.
Would the big bang theory help explain the shift?
I presume the question refers to the "redshift" of distant galaxies. Actually it is the other way around - i.e. the Doppler redshift helps to support and explain the Big Bang Theory. This "redshift" is called the "cosmological redshift". Strictly speaking, it's not the Doppler effect.
