The explanation for the differences in wavelength observed from earth and a distant star with a shift towards the red end of the spectrum is the Redshift- Doppler effect.

<h3>What is the Doppler effect?</h3>

The Doppler effect is the difference that occur between the frequency of a wave in relation to observer from the wave source.

The wavelength changes with change in the frequency.

<h3>How does the Doppler effect explain the redshift?</h3>

As an object moves away from Earth, the waves moves to the red end of the electromagnetic spectrum and becomes elongated. This results to the increase in wavelength.

Therefore, the explanation for the differences in wavelength observed from earth and a distant star with a shift towards the red end of the spectrum is the redshift-Doppler effect.

Do you live in england<br><br> and if so where abouts do you live
azamat

Answer:

Because London is a big place, and you need to be rich to live in certain districts. Plus you could be talking to someone who lives not that far away, so maybe you will have something in common with that Londoner. If in reply to their question you answer Knightsbridge, South Kensington, Chelsea, Belgravia, Mayfair, St. John's Wood, Primrose Hill, St. James, Holland Park, Regents Park, or Notting Hill; you are telling people you are rich. You need to be rich to live in districts like those, just like the New Yorker who lives in Upper East Side. If your answer to their question is Tottenham, Wood Green, East Ham, Stratford, Dagenham, Barking, Canning Town, Hounslow, or Woolwich; you are telling people you are poor. Very few rich New Yorkers opt to live in the South Bronx. Likewise people will take it to mean you are a regular everyday person struggling to make ends meet, if you live in one of London's poorest districts.

Similarly if you answer Barnes, Kew, Camden Town, Clapham, Hampstead, Highgate, Bayswater, Hammersmith, or Swiss Cottage you are likely to be in a very good job if not a millionaire. If you own a house in any of those districts you are going to be worth close to or more than £1m once the mortgage has been paid off.
