| | Doppler, Christian |
 | | He discovered of the Doppler effect, relative to the variation of the acoustic waves when they are under a movement effect. |
 | | Doppler explains correctly the physic phenomenon, underlining that when the waves of the sound participates in the movement of the origin, they reach our ear in shorter intervals, and when it participates in the movement but going away from the observer, the intervals are longer. |
 | | Doppler explain a similar effect that would happen with luminous waves, but his explanation wasn't very exact; but this uncompleted theory was finished properly by Fizeaua hundred of years later, and it was very important for astronomy and for the development of the theory of relativity. |
