	If the energy transfered to the sail results in a shift in the
wavelength of the photon, is it true that a sail wich is moving faster
(producing greater red-shift) receives more energy from each photon?
I would guess that this is not the case due to factors having to do with
relative velocity of the sail and the observer, but I am not able to put
it all together.
