Red Shift Meaning

Red-shift definitions An increase in the wavelength of radiation emitted by a celestial body as a consequence of the Doppler effect. Redshift, displacement of the spectrum of an astronomical object toward longer (red) wavelengths. It is attributed to the Doppler effect, a change in wavelength that results when an object and an observer are in motion with respect to each other. Learn about redshift in this article.

The reddening or decrease in frequency of light from distant galaxies due to the Doppler effect, indicating that they are moving away from us. The red shift can also take place via expansion of empty space, as in the expanding universe. The opposite of blue shift.

Most galaxies are red shifted, this tells us that our universe is expanding.

n. The political change of the United States in favor of conservatism, specifically relating to the 2004 election, with the re-election of George Bush, and the loss of John Kerry, the great gains for Republicans in the House and Senate, and the voting to ammend the constitutions of 11 states outlawing gay marriage.
Not saying it is good or bad, in fact, for me, Red Shift is a mixed blessing (damn my centrist view).
(this makes reference to the red states being pro-GOP, and the Blue, pro-Dems)

What Is The Red Shift

Software‎ > ‎a|e - UV-Vis-IR Spectral Software‎ > ‎a|e Documentation Pages‎ > ‎Edit spectra‎ > ‎

Red-shift or blue-shift spectra

Red-shifted vs. blue-shifted absorption and emission spectra

- A spectral shift towards higher wavelengths (i.e. lower energy and lower frequency) is called a red-shift or a bathochromic shift.

- A spectral shift towards lower wavelengths (i.e. higher energy and higher frequency) is called a blue-shift or hypsochromic shift.

Perform spectral shifting using a|e

Spectral shifting (i.e. moving the spectrum to lower or higher wavelengths) may sometimes be necessary post-acquisition, e.g. when decomposing spectra into individual components subjected to hypso- or bathochromic shifts in different samples.

1. Activate the 'Modify spectra manually' toggle button in the toolbar. This will activate a spectrum selection popup-menu and a shift wavelength editbox.

2. Select the spectrum to be shifted from the spectrum popup-menu. The data from this spectrum is shown in the editable data table.

3. To shift the spectrum, set a value (in nm) in the 'Shift wavelength' editbox and press either the '<-' or '->' button corresponding to a blue-shift and red-shift, respectively. In this example, a data cursor is marked on the spectrum simply to monitor the shift action.

4. Pressing the '<-' button will shift the spectrum to the left, in this example 50 nm.
