MCQ
The phenomenon by which stars recedes from each other is explained by:
- ABlack hole theory
- BNeutron star theory
- CWhite dwarf
- DRed shift
✓
Answer
- Red shift
Explanation:
When an object moves away from us, its light waves are stretched into lower frequencies or longer wavelengths, and we say that the light is redshifted. It also explain the expanding nature of universe.
Doppler effect in light explains the phenomenon of receding of stars and approaching of star by red shift and blue shift respectively.
