unusual facts about Doppler


Ulrich Müller-Doppler

He is the last direct descendant of the Famous Flutists and Composer Albert Franz and Karl Doppler


Cyclone Olivia

1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak – produced an F5 tornado which had winds estimated at 511 km/h (318 mph) by the doppler data of the weather radar

Doppler broadening

Saturated absorption spectroscopy, also known as Doppler-free spectroscopy, can be used to find the true frequency of an atomic transition without cooling a sample down to temperatures at which the Doppler broadening is minimal.

Doppler effect

The Doppler effect (or Doppler shift), named after the Austrian physicist Christian Doppler, who proposed it in 1842 in Prague, is the change in frequency of a wave (or other periodic event) for an observer moving relative to its source.

Doppler radar

The Doppler effect (or Doppler shift), named after Austrian physicist Christian Doppler who proposed it in 1842, is the difference between the observed frequency and the emitted frequency of a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the waves.

Earth-Moon-Earth communication

At the end of IZ1BPN's transmission you can hear the echo of his signal returning from the Moon, again pitched down by Doppler Shift.

HD 86226

Due to the reactions it had when placed under a Doppler test, 13 Magellan Doppler Velocity observations were made of an object found near the star.

Ives–Stilwell experiment

Ives remarked that it is nearly impossible to measure the transverse Doppler effect with respect to light rays emitted by canal rays at right angles to the direction of motion of the canal rays (as it was considered earlier by Einstein), because the influence of the longitudinal effect can hardly be excluded.

Jattinder GH Hospital, Ludhiana

The hospital is equipped with scanning equipment which includes a CT Scan, Mammography, Bone Mineral Density and Color Doppler.

Kinjiro Okabe

In 1955, his interest turned to medical applications of ultrasound, and he suggested to Shigeo Satomura, one of his graduate students, that he apply Doppler ultrasound techniques to medical diagnosis.

Kirkland and District Hospital

Departmental laboratories include haematology, chemistry, blood bank and cryogenics sections and referred out microbiology, cytology and pathology services as well as diagnostic services including echocardiography, pulmonary function testing, exercise stress testing, radiography, mammography, ultrasound, doppler facilities and fetal monitoring capabilities.

Mount Musgrave

The summit of the mountain hosts Environment Canada's doppler weather radar station "XME", part of the Canadian weather radar network.

Rayleigh fading

These Doppler shifts correspond to velocities of about 6 km/h (4 mph) and 60 km/h (40 mph) respectively at 1800 MHz, one of the operating frequencies for GSM mobile phones.

William Hammesfahr

He also advocates using Transcranial Doppler testing (TCD) to monitor patients' progress, which involves using sound waves to measure the speed of blood flow through the brain.

Zeta potential

This velocity is measured using the technique of the Laser Doppler Anemometer.
