Modified Hubble law
The frequency of a photon emitted from an atom contained in a medium in the universe is given. This implies the redshift of a photon emitted in a distant galaxy (quasar) contained in this medium. The application to cosmological models gives a modified Hubble law. For a fixed redshift
of a galaxy, the distance to it is in general smaller than by the standard Hubble law. Furthermore, the distances of two galaxies with almost the same redshift can be quite different depending on the different media in which the photons are emitted and vice versa, two nearby galaxies can have
quite different redshifts.
