19.Space Police Officer Sripad, looking out a window, notices another ship running a red light. The officers immediately turn
on their siren and pull the ship over. The pilot protests saying: " I was moving at relativistic speeds toward the light, so the
red light was Doppler-shifted to green. I didn't know it was supposed to be red!" Is this a reasonable argument?
A. No. If you're moving towards a light, it will be red-shifted, not blue-shifted, so the traffic light should not have appeared
green.
B. Yes. An observer moving toward a red light at just over 0.1 c will see it as green.
