Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī and Marin Mersenne were among the investigators who conducted experimental measurements of the speed of sound in air during the 17th century. Their experiments contributed to the understanding of sound propagation.

Certain creatures such as mosquitoes, dogs, bats, and dolphins can detect ultrasonic waves.

The Scientific Revolution, a period characterized by significant advancements in scientific knowledge, witnessed rapid progress in the understanding of acoustical processes. Figures such as Galileo Galilei and Marin Mersenne made noteworthy contributions during this period.

Isaac Newton derived the relationship for wave velocity in solids during the 17th century. This discovery laid a foundation for the field of physical acoustics.

According to ancient theories, the ascending seats in theaters were designed to prevent the deterioration of sound. By arranging the seats in an ascending manner, the sound waves could flow back and break up following waves, thus maintaining the quality of sound.

Marin Mersenne independently discovered the complete laws of vibrating strings during the Scientific Revolution. His findings complemented the work of Galileo Galilei.

Galileo Galilei's statement that "Waves are produced by the vibrations of a sonorous body, which spread through the air, bringing to the tympanum of the ear a stimulus which the mind interprets as sound" highlights the connection between waves and the perception of sound by the mind.

Marin Mersenne was among the investigators who carried out successful experimental measurements of the speed of sound in air during the 17th century. These measurements contributed to a better understanding of sound propagation.

Acoustics is a branch of physics that primarily deals with the study of mechanical waves, including vibration, sound, ultrasound, and infrasound, in different mediums such as gases, liquids, and solids.

An acoustician is someone who works in the field of acoustics, particularly in acoustics technology. They specialize in the study and application of sound-related phenomena in various industries.
