150th Anniversary of the Discovery of the Doppler Effect
The Doppler Effect brings to mind the phenomenon of the visible change occurring in a wavelength, namely the frequency and intensity of a wave's appearance, in accordance with the approach or distancing of the observer (as is the case for sound and water waves, for example). The discoverer of this natural phenomenon was Christian Andreas Doppler, born on September 29, 1803 in Salzburg. After completing his education at Vienna's Polytechnical Institute, he taught at the Technical University in Prague as of 1837, where in 1841 he was named Professor of Elemental Mathematics. In 1848 he was named full member of the Vienna Academy of Sciences and Honorary Doctor at the University of Prague. Doppler was forced to relocate to a milder climate due to a lung illness and in 1852 moved to Venice, where his condition nevertheless worsened and he died on March 17, 1853.
