Bookmark or Share- Sonoluminescence - WikipediaSonoluminescence is the emission of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound. Sonoluminescence was first discovered in 1934 at the University of Cologne . It occurs when a sound wave of sufficient intensity induces a gaseous cavity within a liquid to collapse quickly, emitting a burst of light.
- Sound Into Light | UCLA Putterman Research GroupSONOLUMINESCENCE: SOUND INTO LIGHT. The energy of a sound wave in a fluid can concentrate by 12 orders of magnitude to create flashes of light that can be shorter than 50 picoseconds. A picosecond is a millionth of a millionth of a second. The flashes originate from hot spots that form inside bubbles that nucleate, expand, and crash in response ...
- Resource Paper: Sonoluminescence | The Journal of the Acoustical ...Sonoluminescence is the production of electromagnetic radiation, much of it in the form of visible light, that is emitted from a gas-filled cavity that has grown and collapsed under the influence of a varying pressure field. This resource paper provides a guide to the literature of sonoluminescence, from its early history to the present. Topics.
- Sonoluminescence: How Bubbles Turn Sound into LightSonoluminescence, the transduction of sound into light, is a phenomenon that pushes fluid mechanics beyond its limit.
- Sonoluminescence - an overview | ScienceDirect TopicsSonoluminescence is 100-fold brighter at 0°C compared to 40°C. Dissolved rare gases appear to be critical to SL; it is the 1% Ar in air that is responsible for SL under ambient air conditions. For a phenomenon known for over 60 years, our understanding of its precise origins is still uncertain.
