The redshift of galaxies tell us this about the universe:
What is, the universe is expanding?
The variable that scientists change or manipulate in an experiment
What is the independent variable?
This is the process where light bounces off a surface.
What is reflection
This is the lowest point on a wave
What is a trough
This phenomenon causes the stretching of wavelengths from objects moving away from us.
What is Doppler Effect?
This type of variable is kept the same in all trials of an experiment

This is the number of times a wave passes a point in a given amount of time
What is frequency
This electromagnetic wave has the highest frequency
What is gamma
This is the primary evidence supporting the Big Bang Theory.
What is redshift of galaxies?
