PX158 - K1 - hubble's law

- in
, Hubble found that the radial velocity of galaxies increased with distance - these velocities are almost always red shifts, ie: galaxies are moving away
where,
was measured by observing shifts in atomic absorprtion/emission lines in galaxy spectrum - the best fit line gives:
- this implied that the universe is expanding
- the expansion is space-time itself, not an explosion into space
- the expansion can be measured by using a term called redshift:
where,
-
-
-
where,
- eg: if galaxy shows features at
, , what is and apparent magnitude of a cepheid variable with ? - the apparent magnitude is very faint (to even be detected by a telescope)
