- While cruising down University Boulevard you are stopped by a cop who states that you ran a red traffic light. Because you don't want to pay the stiff fine, you are attempting a physics defense. 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.
