Detailed Description

Function Documentation

redshiftByFrequency()

template<typename T >

T EGXPhys::redshiftByFrequency	(	const T &	frequencyObserved,
		const T &	frequencyEmitted
	)

Calculates the redshift, \(z\), of light based on frequency. Redshifts occur when \(z > 0\), blueshifts when \(z < 0\). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift.

\[z=\frac{f_{emitted}-f_{observed}}{f_{observed}}\]

.

Parameters

frequencyObserved	\(f_{observed}\ (m)\) is the observed frequency of light.
frequencyEmitted	\(f_{emitted}\ (m)\) is the emitted frequency of light.

Returns

\(z\)(dimensionless) redshift of the observed light.

redshiftByWavelength()

template<typename T >

T EGXPhys::redshiftByWavelength	(	const T &	wavelengthObserved,
		const T &	wavelengthEmitted
	)

Calculates the redshift, \(z\), of light based on wavelenght. Redshifts occur when \(z > 0\), blueshifts when \(z < 0\). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift.

\[z=\frac{\lambda_{observed}-\lambda_{emitted}}{\lambda_{emitted}}\]

.

Parameters

wavelengthObserved	\(\lambda_{observed}\ (m)\) is the observed wavelength of light.
wavelengthEmitted	\(\lambda_{emitted}\ (m)\) is the emitted wavelength of light.

Returns

\(z\)(dimensionless) redshift of the observed light.
