Relativity
Gravitational Redshift Calculator
Compute the observed frequency of light or electromagnetic radiation emitted near a massive object, accounting for gravitational redshift predicted by General Relativity. Essential for astrophysics, pulsar timing, and GPS system design.

Relativity
Cosmological Redshift Calculator
Computes cosmological redshift, recession velocity, comoving distance, or the Hubble time from redshift z and the Hubble constant. Ideal for astronomy students and researchers analyzing galaxy observations.
