Christian Andreas Doppler was born November 29, 1803 Salzburg, Austria. Doppler’s Father was a stonemason. Doppler studied physics at Vienna University of Technology and University of Vienna. In 1847 he accepted a professorship in mathematics, physics, and mechanics at the Academy of Mines and Forests in the Slovakian town Banska Stiavnica. In 1850 he was appointed head of the Institute for Experimental Physics at the University of Vienna. The Doppler Effect- founded in 1842 the Doppler effect taught that sound waves would have a higher frequency if the source was moving away the observer.
Doppler revolutionized this principle which does not apply to sound, as time went on people started applying this principle to light. In which another scientist Edwin Hubble used it to determine that the universe was still expanding.
The most common way we still hear about Doppler is how meteorologist apply his principles to find out where storms are coming from, and the type of force that is carried with them. The Doppler radar is still in use today worldwide, all from the effects of Doppler, also his first invention of the Doppler Effect.
Doppler’s most famous invention contributed in many different ways in modern science today, especially Aviation (Weather Patterns, Other Planes), Nautical (Submarines, Fishing boats), Police Radar Guns (Speed Traps), Weather Patterns, Medical Imaging (Blood Flow)
Christian Andreas Doppler is a man that not to many people talk about but is a man that had a big contribution on our society today. He invented the technology we use in so many ways today. Without Doppler’s contribution to science we wouldn’t know how to or even need meteorologists to tell us what the weather is going to be like because wouldn’t have that kind of ability. I think Doppler deserves more reverence and recognition for his work and knowledge he blessed us with. He will always have
