Christian Andreas Doppler (/ˈdɒplər/; German: [ˈdɔplɐ] ⓘ; 29 November 1803 – 17 March 1853) was an Austrian mathematician and physicist. He formulated the principle – now known as the Doppler effect – that the observed frequency of a wave depends on the relative speed of the source and the observer.
