Redshift Music Society
In physics, a redshift is an increase in the wavelength, and corresponding decrease in the frequency and photon energy, of electromagnetic radiation (such as light). The opposite change, a decrease in wavelength and simultaneous increase in frequency and energy, is known as a negative redshift, or blueshift. The terms derive from the colours red and blue which form the extremes of the visible light spectrum. In astronomy and cosmology, the three main causes of electromagnetic redshift are # The radiation travels between objects which are moving apart (" relativistic" redshift, an example of the relativistic Doppler effect) #The radiation travels towards an object in a weaker gravitational potential, i.e. towards an object in less strongly curved (flatter) spacetime ( gravitational redshift) #The radiation travels through expanding space ( cosmological redshift). The observation that all sufficiently distant light sources show redshift corresponding to their dist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
