Velocities cannot add to be greater than the speed of light. Although displacements perpendicular to the relative motion are the same in both frames of reference, the time interval between events differ, and differences in dt and dt' lead to different velocities seen from the two frames.

Relativistic velocity addition describes the velocities of an object moving at a relativistic speed. An observer of electromagnetic radiation sees relativistic Doppler effects if the source of the radiation is moving relative to the observer. The wavelength of the radiation is longer than that emitted by the source when the source moves away from the observer and shorter when the source moves toward the observer.
