The first step to take is to check the anemometer to determine the intensity of the wind blowing in the open ocean. The measurement is in terms of knots or nautical miles. Next, we use a Beaufort scale to check what range the knots falls in. Using the scale, we can see what is the height of the wave. The Beaufort scale is used in open oceans only

What happens to light waves from a star as the star moves away from Earth?
AURORKA [14]
<h2>Answer: Light waves have a redshift due to the Doppler effect </h2>

The astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble observed several celestial bodies, and when obtaining the spectra of distant galaxies he observed the spectral lines were displaced towards the red (red shift), whereas the nearby galaxies showed a spectrum displaced to the blue.  

From there, Hubble deduced that the farther the galaxy is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum. <u>The same happens with the stars and this phenomenom is known as the Doppler effect. </u>

This phenomenon refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency (or wavelength=color) when the emitter of the waves, and the receiver (or observer in the case of light) move relative to each other.  For example, as a star moves away from the Earth, its espectrum turns towards the red.
