Redshift
This article is about the physical phenomenon. For the photochemical usage, see
bathochromic shift
. For other uses of the phrase "red shift" or "redshift", see
redshift (disambiguation)
.In
physics
and
astronomy
, redshift occurs when the
electromagnetic radiation
, usually
visible light
, that is emitted from or reflected off an object is shifted toward the (less energetic) red end of the
electromagnetic spectrum
. More generally, redshift is defined as an increase in the
wavelength
of
electromagnetic radiation
received by a detector compared with the wavelength
emitted
by the source. This increase in wavelength corresponds to a decrease in the
frequency
of the
electromagnetic radiation
. Conversely, a decrease in wavelength is called
blue shift
.
