Red shift

Cards (4)

  • the light from very distant galaxies have an increased wavelength compared to light from closer galaxies
  • the red shift tells us galaxies are moving away from each other high makes the light waves become stretched/wavelength increases
  • galaxies further away have a bigger red shift and they’re moving away faster
  • The big bang theory
    the universe was a small region that was very hot and dense and the force of gravity expanded it
