Who was Ernst Chladni?

Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni was a German physicist and musician. His most important work, for which he is sometimes labeled the "father of acoustics", included research on vibrating plates and the calculation of the speed of sound for different gases. He also undertook pioneering work in the study of meteorites and so is also regarded by some as the "father of meteoritics".
