← ScienceWhich mechanism causes increased spectral redshift from distant galaxies?
A)Spacetime curvature's radial expansion✓
B)Doppler shift molecular vibration
C)Olber's Paradox line broadening
D)Cosmic microwave background anisotropy
💡 Explanation
Increased spectral redshift is caused by spacetime curvature's radial expansion, due to gravity distorting the light's path. Because expansion stretches wavelengths, there’s redshift; therefore A is right, rather than Doppler shifts, which occur due to local motion.
