The displacement of the spectrum to shorter wavelengths in the light coming from distant celestial objects moving toward the observer.
A
Big Bang
B
Blue Shift
C
Red Shift
D
Violet Shift
Explanation: 

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: -redshift, displacement of the spectrum of an astronomical object toward longer (red) wavelengths. It is attributed to the Doppler effect, a change in wavelength that results when a given source of waves (e.g., light or radio waves) and an observer are in motion with respect to each other.

Detailed explanation-3: -If the waves involved are visible light, then the colors of the light change slightly. As wavelength decreases, they shift toward the blue end of the spectrum: astronomers call this a blueshift (since the end of the spectrum is really violet, the term should probably be violetshift, but blue is a more common color).
