Redshift to Velocity Calculator

Calculate Velocity from Redshift (V)

Formula

The formula to calculate the Velocity (V) from Redshift (Z) is:

\[ V = Z \cdot C \]

Where:

What is Redshift?

Redshift measures the ratio of the speed of an object relative to the speed of light. The redshift describes the rate at which an object is getting closer to the observer.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Using the formula to calculate the Velocity:

\[ V = 0.1 \cdot 299792458 = 29979245.8 \text{ m/s} \]

This means that the velocity for this example is approximately 29,979,245.8 m/s.
