I have been doing some thinking about quasars and have been wondering. Are we able to sue the redshift of a quasar to find out the distance of a galaxy?
If we know the redshift at a galaxy can't we just use Vrecession= (c*(λ-λo))/(λo), then substitute this value into Vrecession=Hubble's constant *Distance and rearrange to find the distance?
Am I correct in this assumption or am I way off, any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
