Light can behave as a Wave and as a Particle. This duality is showcased in a triptych with each panel representing a section or a full visible light spectrum. “Redshift” panel represents the light that has been traveling away from us while a “Blueshift” panel represents light that has been traveling towards us. The central panel, after which the whole triptych is named, shows a full light spectrum.
