Detailed explanation-1: -Redshift and blueshift describe the change in the frequency of a light wave depending on whether an object is moving towards or away from us. When an object is moving away from us, the light from the object is known as redshift, and when an object is moving towards us, the light from the object is known as blueshift.

Detailed explanation-2: -"Blueshift” is a term that astronomers use to describe an object that is moving toward another object or toward us. Someone will say, “That galaxy is blueshifted with respect to the Milky Way", for example. It means that the galaxy is moving toward our point in space.

Detailed explanation-3: -A blueshift is any decrease in wavelength, with a corresponding increase in frequency, of an electromagnetic wave; the opposite effect is referred to asredshift. In visible light, this shifts the color from the red end of the spectrum to the blue end.

Detailed explanation-4: -As an object moves towards us, sound and light waves are bunched up, so the pitch of the sound is higher, and light waves are moved towards the blue end of the electromagnetic spectrum, where light has a shorter wavelength. In the case of light waves, this is called blueshift.

Detailed explanation-5: -The wavelength of light emitted by a moving object is shifted. This effect is called the doppler shift. If the object is coming toward you, the light is shifted toward shorter wavelengths, blue shifted . If the object is going away from you, the light is shifted toward longer wavelengths, red shifted .
