Answer 1

a. Absorption bands are shifted toward the red end of the spectrum

Answer 2

Redshift occurs when the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation from an object is increased (shifted toward the red part of the spectrum). This phenomenon is typically observed in the context of light from distant galaxies, indicating that they are moving away from us, consistent with an expanding universe. It is not related to sound waves or a shift toward the blue end of the spectrum.
