If a star is moving TOWARDS the Earth, one can observe the color BLUE in the visible light wave. This light wave is known to have HIGH frequency as the waves are compressed since the star is getting closer. What do you call this phenomenon?

• Red shift

• Doppler Effect

• Blue Shift

• Gamma Rays

If a star is moving AWAY from the Earth, one can observe the color RED in the visible light wave. This light wave is known to have LOW frequency as the waves are lengthened or stretched out since the star is moving away. What do you call this phenomenon?

• Red shift

• Doppler Effect

• Blue Shift

• Gamma Rays
