On the specification

BoardSpecStatement
AQA GCSE 84634.8.2Red-shift
Edexcel GCSE 1PH07.11PDescribe that if a wave source is moving relative to an observer there will be a change in the observed frequency and wavelength
Edexcel GCSE 1PH07.12PDescribe the red-shift in light received from galaxies at different distances away from the Earth
Edexcel GCSE 1PH07.13PExplain why the red-shift of galaxies provides evidence for the Universe expanding
Edexcel GCSE 1PH07.14PExplain how both the Big Bang and Steady State theories of the origin of the Universe both account for red-shift of galaxies
Edexcel GCSE 1PH07.15PExplain how the discovery of the CMB radiation led to the Big Bang theory becoming the currently accepted model
OCR GCSE J249P8.3aExplain the red-shift of light as seen from galaxies which are receding (qualitative only). The change with distance of each galaxy’s speed is evidence of an expanding universe
OCR GCSE J249P8.3bExplain how red shift and other evidence can be linked to the Big-Bang model
For teachers

This GCSE Physics lesson teaches red-shift and the expanding Universe (triple). It suits Foundation and Higher tier students.
