词汇 redshift
释义 redshift
noun[ C or U ]
 physics specialized(alsored shift)uk /ˈred.ʃɪft/ us /ˈred.ʃɪft/
a process in which the light coming from far away objects in space is seen to move from the blue end of the spectrum(= the range of colours into which a beam of light can be separated) to the red end as it moves farther away, because the wavelengths(= the distances between the waves of energy) become longer:
The redshift of an object directly indicates the relative size of the universe when light was emitted.
The Berkeley astronomers measured the supernovae by analysing their red shift.
Compare
blueshift
The observed redshift of a remote galaxy provides an estimate of its distance.
If galaxies are trying to move together, then their red shifts will show it.
It is generally agreed that these redshifts are caused by the expansion of the Universe.

Examples of redshift


redshift
How did the public accounts of redshift from 1920 to 1925 change, and how did they relate to the scientific reports of the time?

He also doubted that the redshift of solar lines would ever be verified.
For definiteness, we estimate the rate of events at low redshift (most of the geological record lies within the time corresponding to cosmologically low redshifts).
The large-scale structure of the universe also looks different if one only uses redshift to measure distances to galaxies.
