what is this shift's measurement?
To determine the redshift, one searches for features in the spectrum such as absorption lines, emission lines, or other variations in light intensity
Redshift
To determine the redshift, one searches for features in the spectrum such as absorption lines, emission lines, or other variations in light intensity.
how does the redshift show galaxies are moving away from us If a source of the light is moving away from an observer, then redshift occurs; if the source moves towards the observer, then blueshift occurs. what is meant by this red term? In physics, redshift is a phenomenon where electromagnetic radiation (such as light) from an object undergoes an increase in wavelength. the kind of radiation you mentioned here; what is it actually? In physics, electromagnetic radiation refers to the waves of the electromagnetic field, propagating through space, carrying electromagnetic radiant energy. which equation is related to it? Maxwell's equations who is this person? James Clerk Maxwell was a Scottish scientist in the field of mathematical physics what is stated in this equation? According to Maxwell's equations, a spatially varying electric field is always associated with a magnetic field that changes over time. regarding the former shift we talked about; is there any survey done on it? Yes, the CfA Redshift Survey, the DEEP2 Redshift Survey, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Redshift [SEP] Measurement, characterization, and interpretation
The spectrum of light that comes from a source (see idealized spectrum illustration top-right) can be measured. To determine the redshift, one searches for features in the spectrum such as absorption lines, emission lines, or other variations in light intensity. If found, these features can be compared with known features in the spectrum of various chemical compounds found in experiments where that compound is located on Earth. A very common atomic element in space is hydrogen. The spectrum of originally featureless light shone through hydrogen will show a signature spectrum specific to hydrogen that has features at regular intervals. If restricted to absorption lines it would look similar to the illustration (top right).
