Jean-Daniel Colladon (1802–1893) was a Swiss physicist and engineer best known for his work in the field of acoustics and fluid dynamics. He is particularly noted for his contributions to the understanding of the propagation of sound in water and the phenomenon of sonic waves. One of Colladon’s notable experiments involved demonstrating the speed of sound in water, which he calculated using a submerged bell.
