An astronaut is in his ship at rest with respect to the inertial observer in the ship. a cosmonaut in a Soviet ship, it approaches the American ship with a speed: V = 0,5c m/s. a) If during the trip the Cosmonaut launches a missile with speed v' = 0,75cm/s, with respect to its system of own reference, in the direction of the American spacecraft, find the speed with which the astronaut sees approach the missile. b) If the Cosmonaut sees his own ship as red, i.e., his ship reflects light with a wavelength of 7,5 x 10-7 m, find what color the Astronaut sees the approaching Soviet ship. If the missile is also red for the Cosmonaut, how does the Astronaut see it?
