what is the difference between a doppler red shift and a cosmological redshift?

Explanation: In Doppler redshift, only the relative velocities of the emitting and receiving object matters. ... But in case of Cosmological redshift, the emitted light also gets stetched out (thereby increasing its wavelength) by the expanding space as Light is also in the space.

Because light travels at 45 degrees, anything traveling slower than light from this t=0 event is closer to the time axis than the light rays, and anything faster than light is further away from the time axis. ... Again, this is what a FTL and slower-than-light set of communications would appear like in a spacetime diagram.

The speed of sound through air is about 340 meters per second. ... Light will travel through a vacuum at 300 million meters per second. So they're totally different scales. No information can propagate faster than the speed of light.

Radial velocity is determined from the Doppler effect in the spectra of the stars. ... It is related to a star's transverse velocity (km/s; the velocity component of the star parallel to the plane of the sky) depending upon the distance to the star.

As dark energy causes the universe to expand ever-faster, it may spur some very distant galaxies to apparently move faster than the speed of light. ... Over and over (and over and over) we're told the supreme iron law of the universe: Nothing — absolutely nothing — can go faster than the speed of light.

Examples of such differences include gravitational time dilation, gravitational lensing, the gravitational redshift of light, and the gravitational time delay.

"The index of refraction of any material (besides vacuum) varies slightly with the frequency of light: the higher the frequency, the greater the index of refraction. Since red light has a lower frequency than violet, its index of refraction will be lower.

The cold and the telescope's distance from the Earth will give JWST the precision to observe red-shifted light from the early universe. The James Webb Space Telescope will detect infrared light that is 400 times fainter than current space-based telescopes can see.

The universe is expanding at accelerated rate. The galaxies outside of our own are moving away from us, and the ones that are farthest away are moving the fastest. This means that no matter what galaxy you happen to be in, all the other galaxies are moving away from you. The universe is expanding at accelerated rate.

American astronomer Edwin Hubble (who the Hubble Space Telescope is named after) was the first to describe the redshift phenomenon and tie it to an expanding universe. His observations, revealed in 1929, showed that nearly all galaxies he observed are moving away, NASA said.

Frequency is generally measured in Hertz, which are units of cycles per second. Color is the frequency of visible light, and it ranges from 430 trillion Hertz (which is red) to 750 trillion Hertz (which is violet). Waves can also go beyond and below those frequencies, but they're not visible to the human eye.

After inflation, the expansion of the universe continued, but at a slower rate. As space expanded, the universe cooled and matter formed, and then protons and neutrons formed. ... So Inflation Theory explains why the CMB is so nearly uniform, and also how galaxies, stars, planets and people came to be!

The speed of light in vacuum is usually denoted by a lowercase c, for "constant" or the Latin celeritas (meaning "swiftness, celerity"). In 1856, Wilhelm Eduard Weber and Rudolf Kohlrausch had used c for a different constant that was later shown to equal √2 times the speed of light in vacuum.

Yes, it is. All sorts of interesting things happen when you do. The main thing is that when you travel faster than the speed of sound, the doppler shift can't keep up - you're faster than sound waves you emitted going in the same direction as you!!

When the data was put into a graph it showed a straight line through the origin. This shows that the velocity of a galaxy is directly proportional to its distance away from Earth. In other words, if the distance of the galaxy away from us doubles, so does its recessional velocity . This is Hubble's law.

Frequency (f) and wavelength (λ) are joined by the equation fλ = c, where c is the speed of light. As the speed of light is constant, if you increase the frequency, the wavelength must decrease to maintain this equation and vice versa.

The earliest and most direct observational evidence of the validity of the theory are the expansion of the universe according to Hubble's law (as indicated by the redshifts of galaxies), discovery and measurement of the cosmic microwave background and the relative abundances of light elements produced by BBN.
