  • Doppler Theory

    Doppler Theory
    The doppler theory is the effect that like ripples in a pond originate from the center. As the object moves, from one perspective, the ripples look tighter together, known as a higher frequency. From the opposite side, as the object creating the ripples moves away from the angle, the ripples will be farther apart. This also leads to cosmology, because of the theory about the big bang. Red light waves are wider known as red shifting.

  • Young Professor

    Young Professor
    At the age of 17, he attended the University of Vienna. In 1860 he received his doctorate while also teaching mechanics and physics in Vienna until 1864. Soon after he became a professor of mathematics for the University of Graz. This was the time that he had a peak of interest in Psychology and physiology of sensation. He identified himself as a physicist and conducted physical research throughout his career.

    Professor
    From 1864 to 1866, Ernst Mach was a professor of math then two later a professor of physics. Ernst Mach was able to continue his works and conducted his experiments. In 1865, he gave a speech about unconscious memory.

    From 1873 to 1893 is when he developed optical and photographic techniques for the measurements of soundwaves. Discovery and principles of the supersonic and Mach numbers were established in 1887 which were the velocity and object to the velocity of sound and angles, in which the measurement sound wave is given. Breaking the sound barrier was at Mach 1.06 https://www.space.com/16709-breaking-the-sound-barrier.html#:~:text=As%20the%20plane%20accelerated%20to,is%20a%20small%20sonic%20boom.

  • Popular Scientific Lectures

    Popular Scientific Lectures
    Ernst Mach publishes a collection of works Called the Popular scientific lectures. Author Mach covers numerous topics in the realm of science. Mach delivered the twelve lectures collected here between 1864 and 1894. The most peculiar is a chapter called "Why has man two eyes," lecture on symmetry.

  • The Death of Mach

    The Death of Mach
    During his retirement, he continued to write, lecture, and publish. In 1905 and 1910 created an autobiography. On the 19th of February of 1916 is when he passed. Ernst Mach, a physicist, and a philosopher died one day after his 78th birthday.
