Assume that a track with a length of L=2.97 mm in the laboratory frame of reference has been observed. Further assume that you determined from other detector data that the particle moved at a speed of L=0.910 ⚫ c, also in the laboratory frame of reference. c denotes the speed of light in vacuum.

You claim that due to the relativistic Doppler effect, the red color of the light λ=616 nm appeared green '=531 nm to you. The cop makes a quick calculation of his own and rejects your defense. How fast, in terms of your speed u divided by the speed of light in vacuum c, would you have to drive to justify your claim? Note that the speed u is taken to be a positive quantity.
