Redshifts were used as supporting evidence for the big bang theory. Which describes redshifts? Choose three correct answers.

A redshift occurs when a light source moves farther from the observer, stretching the light to longer wavelengths. Because many galaxies show redshifts, this indicates that they are receding from us. Shorter wavelengths and approaching sources describe blueshift, not redshift.
