Doppler Effect
Electromagnetic Spectrum
Light behaves in two ways: Wave like properties In some instances, light has Particle like properties Natures of light
Analogous to ocean swells Waves are characterized by the following properties: Wavelength Period Frequency Amplitude Light as a wave
Light emitting galaxies are RED SHIFTING How do we know objects are moving away from us? Wavelength increases as distance increases What is blue shifting?
