The spectrum allows us to identify key features, such as the spike-like emission lines of excited hydrogen gas, to determine precisely how much those lines have
redshifted.
Quasar light is
redshifted, stretched toward the red part of the spectrum, which astronomers now attribute to the expansion of the universe.
Combining (31) and (32), we find that the energy flux of the source of a black body that is
redshifted is of order [(1 + z).sup.4].
Conversely, if the particles become lighter, the frequencies get
redshifted.
A galaxy's light is
redshifted, or stretched to longer wavelengths, by the expansion of the universe.
Atoms made of young, low mass particles would give off radiation that would be
redshifted compared to the atoms of the same elements on Earth.
If quasars were moving close to the speed of light, associated relativistic effects would make blueshifted quasars easier to detect than
redshifted quasars, but none have ever been found.
In the FLRW universe due to the time dependent scalar factor, light gets
redshifted. According to the theory of GR, light travels on null geodesics (i.e., [ds.sup.2] = 0).
All wavelengths are
redshifted. That means that high-energy gamma rays beyond a detector's energy range would get shifted into the detectable range by cosmic expansion, while slower-energy gamma rays would get shifted to below the detector's range.--R.
Cosmic expansion shifts distant galaxies' light to longer wavelengths, and highly
redshifted galaxies are visible only at infrared wavelengths.
However, we know dozens of much more
redshifted galaxies and quasars.
