Question

1. the wavelengths of the light from galaxies that are further away from the earth are more (bold one: compressed or expanded ). 4. the wavelengths of the light from galaxies that are closer to the earth are more (bold one: compressed or expanded ).

Explanation:

According to the Doppler - effect in astronomy, when a galaxy is moving away from the Earth (more distant galaxies), the light it emits experiences redshift, which means the wavelengths are expanded. When a galaxy is moving towards the Earth (closer galaxies), the light experiences blueshift, which means the wavelengths are compressed.

Answer:

1. expanded
2. compressed
