In physics, a redshift is an increase in the wavelength, and corresponding decrease in the frequency and photon energy, of electromagnetic radiation. Wikipedia
Phenomenon in physics, especially astrophysics Wikipedia Disambiguation
A phenomenon that occurs when light seen coming from an object that is moving away is proportionally increased in wavelength, or shifted, to the red end of the spectrum Wikipedia Disambiguation
Relative increase in wavelength of electromagnetic radiation in the emission spectrum of astronomical objects Wikidata
