1. Doppler effect causes the wavelength of energy emitted from an object moving away from the observer to appear ______________ than when it left the source.

 

2. The spectra of objects moving toward us are _________ shifted.

 

3. Besides Doppler effect, another cause of spectral red shifting is the pull of _______________ on radiation traveling away from a massive source.

 

4. The spectra from quasars are quite red shifted, indicating that these objects are moving _________________ from us.

 

5. The warping of space around massive objects accounts for the effect of ________________ lensing.

 

6. It is generally accepted that apparently superluminal velocities that have been observed are due to a ___________________ effect.
