No, but the way that scientists measured the speed of light was having a group of scientists stand on two mountains within visibility, then one group flashes open a light or lantern and they count how long it takes to reach the other mountain using a stopwatch. Then they subtract human reaction time to the equation and do some simple equation using the time they counted to find the speed of light.
The speed of light and sound are measured to understand their behavior and properties, as well as to develop technologies based on their principles. Measuring the speed of light led to the development of theories in physics, while measuring the speed of sound helps in various applications like designing communication systems and studying fluid dynamics.
A. A. Michelson was not interested in measuring the speed of light.He only measured how it changes if you move toward the light, awayfrom it, or sideways. (It doesn't.)
Michelson was not interested in measuring the speed of light. His experimentwas designed to measure the difference in the speed of light over two pathsof equal length. He never detected any difference, which tossed the world ofPhysics on its ear.
Graduated cylinder is a tool to measure volumes.
Yes I THINK.But he was only measuring from one mile so he got 0.000005 sec.
light speed:)
Anemometer
There are many instruments (tools) used for measuring. It depends on what you're measuring. A ruler can be used to measure length, a watch to measure time and an anemometer for measuring wind speed.

This depends on what you are measuring. A tool that can be used is a tape measure.

Well.. One thing I can name is laser hair removal. <><><> LASER means Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Laser light is different from other light. It is tightly focused, and it is "coherent" light-it is all lined up traveling in the same direction. Lasers are used in communication, medicine, measuring distance, as a cutting tool in metal fabrication, measuring speed, and yes, removing hair.
A protractor is the common tool used in mathematics for measuring and drawing angles.
That tool is called a protractor.
A wind sock is a tool that shows what direction the wind is blowing in. While relative wind speed can also be determined with a wind sock, a more accurate tool for measuring wind speed is the anemometer.
