The change in frequency or wavelength of a wave relative to an observer moving relative to the source. In astronomy, it determines whether objects are moving toward or away from Earth by measuring spectral line shifts.
An increase in wavelength of radiation from an object moving away from the observer. The redshift of distant galaxies pr...
