Cosmological wavelength-redshift relation
ID: cosmological-wavelength-redshift-relation
Cosmic expansion stretches an emitted or absorbed spectral feature's wavelength by . A small observed wavelength interval at fixed transition wavelength gives a redshift interval by division by the rest wavelength. Cosmological radial distances then require the Hubble parameter and, for proper distance at that epoch, an extra factor .
