If a star’s light is shifted to the red part of the light spectrum, that means
that the light waves we see when we look at that star are longer than
they SHOULD be ... longer than they were when they left the star.
Note:
The wavelengths are NOT "getting longer" while we sit there and look
at them. That doesn't happen. They ARE longer than they should be.
Right now, the only way we KNOW OF that can increase the wavelength
of light is if the source of the light is moving AWAY from us, and so we
mark that star down in our notebook, and next to it we write "This star is
moving away from us.". This is kind of what choice-C is trying to say.
The thing about this whole story that should blow our minds is this:
-- We observe a star or a galaxy.
-- The light we observe has wavelengths longer than they should be.
-- We say that the star or galaxy is moving away from us.
Now, my question to you is:
HOW do we know what the wavelengths SHOULD be ? ?
We only know what we see. How do we know what the
wavelength was when the light left the star or galaxy ?
Answer:
The reason is to allow the thermometer to respond relatively quickly, and relatively accurately. The glass contains the liquid being used in the thermometer, but if it is too thick, then it will not pass heat as quickly, and it will absorb some of the heat from whatever is being measured.

Sorry but, did you ever get the graphs? If so can you please give them to me because I'm really confused.
Explanation:
Decomposition reactions are said to be those reactions in which a reactants breakdown into two or more products. The general reaction for decomposition reactions is as follow,
ABC → A + B + C
Specific Examples are as,
Water → Hydrogen + Oxygen
2 H₂O → 2 H₂ + O₂
Calcium carbonate → Calcium oxide + Carbon dioxide
CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂
While, Synthetic reactions are said to be those reactions in which two or more reactants combine to form two or more products. The general reaction for synthetic reactions is as follow,
A + B + C → ABC
Specific Examples are as,
Iron + Oxygen → Iron Oxide
2 Fe + 3 O₂ → 2 Fe₂O₃
Sodium + Chlorine → Sodium chloride
2 Na + Cl₂ → 2 NaCl
Sulfur + Oxygen → Sulfur dioxide
S + O₂ → SO₂
Potassium + Chlorine → Potassium chloride
2 K + Cl₂ → 2 KCl
