Redshift (z) measures wavelength increase due to cosmic expansion or relative motion. Higher z indicates greater distance or recession speed.

सूत्र

Calculate z = (λ_obs - λ_rest) / λ_rest
z
(λ_obs - λ_rest) / λ_rest — (λ_obs - λ_rest) / λ_rest

चरण-दर-चरण मार्गदर्शिका

  1. 1Input observed and rest wavelengths
  2. 2Calculate z = (λ_obs - λ_rest) / λ_rest
  3. 3Estimate distance using Hubble constant

हल किए गए उदाहरण

इनपुट
z = 0.1
परिणाम
Recession velocity ~10,000 km/s, distance ~400 Mpc
Using H₀ = 70 km/s/Mpc

सामान्य गलतियां जिनसे बचना है

  • Confusing Doppler redshift with cosmological redshift
  • Using non-relativistic formulas for high z

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

Does redshift mean object moving away?

Usually yes, but expansion also redshifts distant objects even in static space.
