Christian Doppler, an Austrian physicist, initially described the Doppler Effect in 1842. It is visible when the pitch of a vehicle's horn changes as it approaches and recedes from the observer. Christian Doppler first tested the effect of motion on waves by hiring a group of musicians to play on an open railway car as it moved along the track.
