Redshift Frequency

Redshift happens when light or other electromagnetic radiation from an object is increased in wavelength, or shifted to the red end of the spectrum.

The redshift plus 1 equals the ratio between the emitted frequency and the observed frequency.

Formula

1 + QuantityVariable["z", "Unitless"] == QuantityVariable[Subscript["f", "e"], "Frequency"]/QuantityVariable[Subscript["f", "o"], "Frequency"]

symbol description physical quantity
z redshift "Unitless"
fe emitted frequency "Frequency"
fo observed frequency "Frequency"

Examples

Get the resource:

In[1]:=
ResourceObject["Redshift Frequency"]
Out[1]=

Get the formula:

In[2]:=
FormulaData[ResourceObject["Redshift Frequency"]]
Out[2]=

Use some values:

In[3]:=
FormulaData[
 ResourceObject[
  "Redshift Frequency"], {QuantityVariable["z","Unitless"] -> 0.001`}]
Out[3]=
