How does the Doppler effect explain the blueshift of luminous objects such as stars? As a star moves toward Earth, the electromagnetic waves emitted by the star become increasingly
compressed as they approach Earth. Their wavelengths decrease, causing observers on Earth to
experience them as having shifted toward the violet end of the visible light spectrum.

O increasingly compressed as they approach Earth. Their wavelengths decrease, causing observers
on Earth to experience them as having shifted toward the violet end of the visible light spectrum.
As a star moves toward Earth, the electromagnetic waves emitted by the star become increasingly
O elongated as they approach Earth. Their wavelengths increase, causing observers on Earth to
experience them as having shifted toward the violet end of the visible light spectrum.
