MCQ
How does the red shift confirms that the universe is expanding
  • A
    Due to Wien's law
  • B
    Due to Stefan's law
  • C
    Due to Kirchhoff's law
  • Due to Doppler's effect

Answer

Correct option: D.
Due to Doppler's effect
d
(d)If the light received from galaxies indicates a shift towards the red end of spectrum of light, it means that the galaxies should be receding away (Doppler's effect). Therefore we conclude that the universe is expanding.
