SUMMARY
The first recorded measurement of sound waves was conducted by the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei in the early 17th century. He utilized a tuning fork to demonstrate the principles of sound wave propagation. To measure sound waves effectively using a tuning fork, one can strike the fork and observe the resulting vibrations, which can be quantified using tools like oscilloscopes or sound level meters. This discussion emphasizes the historical significance and practical applications of sound wave measurement techniques.
