It is believed that the universe is expanding and hence the distant stars are receding from us. Light from such a star will show:
- AShift in frequency towards longer wavelengths
- BShift in frequency towards shorter wavelengths
- CNo shift in frequency but a decrease in intensity
- D$A$ shift in frequency sometimes towards longer and sometimes towards shorter wavelengths
