Question

A driver disregards a red light (Λ = 750 nm) at an intersection and decides to run it. They are caught by a police officer and are given a ticket. When they arrive in court, they decide to say that they were traveling so fast that the red light appeared green (Λ = 450 nm). After careful thought, the judge presented the individual with two choices: either pay the actual amount on the ticket or pay $1 for every mile per hour they went over the posted speed limit (40.0 mph). If the individual decided to stick with their story, how much would their ticket be?
