Christian Andreas Doppler (; German: ['d?pl?]; 29 November 1803 – 17 March 1853) was an Austrian mathematician and physicist.
He is celebrated for his principle — known as the Doppler effect — that the observed frequency of a wave depends on the relative speed of the source and the observer.
He used this concept to explain the color of binary stars.
