    How can the Doppler effect of light determine an astronaut's speed?

    Homework Statement An astronaut is said to have tried to get out of a traffic violation for running a red light (lambda= 670nm) by telling the judge that the light appeared green (lambda= 540nm) to her as she passed by in her high powered transport. If this is true, how fast was the astronaut...
