Gravitational Redshift and Blueshift Calculator

Studying Einstein’s theory of general relativity can also encompass aspects that pertain to the implications of the electromagnetic waves. The gravitational redshift and blueshift theories state that the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation lengthens or shortens, accordingly, yielding a photonic shift to either the red or blue end of the electromagnetic spectrum. Gravitational Redshift and Blueshift Calculator will, well, as its name suggests, help you compute the resulting values for any given celestial body characteristics.

As with similar apps from this developer, inputting all the data is carried out manually, and we believe that at this point it would be really nice to see other, at least semi-automatic importing capabilities.

Users must be aware though that at least some basic knowledge of the matter at hand is required, i.e. – the stellar parameter that needs to be inputted, especially the frequencies, have to be well-documented.

Since this application deals with stars that are quite far from Earth, manually inputting the distance to them in the corresponding field is quite cumbersome, especially since it’s really big figures we’re talking about.

The use of exponential symbols would be a great feature to have for inputting the distance, as it allows for a far more efficient way of adding that parameter altogether.

Get your hands on this specialized app if you seek a way to learn even deeper knowledge about the blueshift and redshift occurring when stars emit their electromagnetic waves and compute the resulting values.
