Temperature Dependence of Single-Bubble Sonoluminences (SBSL)

Abstract

This paper presents an experimental documentation of production of Single-bubble Sonoluminescence (SBSL) and its temperature dependence. The sonoluminescent bubble experiences continuous rapid contractions and expansions with precise regularity. The intensity of light emitted by bubble is depending on the bubble size. The main purposes of this research are to investigate the luminescence intensity and the maximum bubble size with variation of water temperature. In this study it has been observed that the luminescence intensity and the bubble size are inversely proportional to the water temperature. The size of the bubble was measured by Mie-scattering and light intensity measured by Photo-Multiplier Tube (PMT)
