Which provides the basis for the observation that the universe is expanding?

Answer»

Newton's law of universal gravitation
Red shift of light from other galaxies
The fact that every element of atomic number greater than 83 is radioactive
the zeroth law of thermodynamics

Solution :The red shift of light refers to the increase in the wavelength (or, equivalently, the decreasea in the FREQUENCY) of light FROMM a distant source when it's measured here. This CHANGE in wavelength (and frequency) is the Doppler EFFECT and implies that the source and detector are moving away from each other. this provides EVIDENCE for the expansion of the universe.
