[seto6]

redshift ""first year astronomy""

how do i find distance using redshift? please keep in mind that this is first year astronomy course i am currently taking

having some trouble doing it. don't know where to start

 

[mgb_phys]

Start here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble's_law

Or http://astro.wku.edu/astr106/Hubble_intro.html might be a bit simpler

 

[seto6]

got it so..

redshift time speed of light = velocity(recessional)

velocity(recessional)= Ho times distance

so... solve for distance

thanks man helped me a lot!
