The other day i was pulled over for running a red light. when the police officer came up to my car to issue me a ticket, i said "i’m sorry officer, but i didn’t see the red light. you see, i was driving directly toward the traffic light, so the doppler shift caused the light’s wavelength to blueshift. the traffic light actually appeared green to me as i was driving toward the intersection, so i didn’t know i was supposed to stop." should the police officer take this as a valid excuse and decide not to issue me a ticket? why or why not? use at least one calculation and your understanding of the doppler effect to explain your answer. (some potentially information — the wavelengths of red and green light are approximately 650 nm and 550 nm, respectively.)

Look at the data above. provide an explanation for europe’s projected population decrease by the year 2050. (i'm doing this for future kids) the answer is : the percentage of people over the age of 65 and under the age of 15 in europe is currently the same at 16% each. therefore, the majority of the population is between the ages of 16 and 64. in forty years from now, in 2050, a greater percentage of the population will be over the age of 65. europe also has a relatively long life expectancy of 75 years. this, combined with a low birth rate means that by 2050 europe’s population will actually be less than it is today.
