... . This emission of light is fascinating because the energy required to produce the light suggests that the temperature inside the bubble exceeds 10,000 Celcius. Scientists are still debating the physics of Sonoluminescence. Although it is still not clear precisely what sequence of events creates the light, laboratory experiments have established several strong theories to explain this phenomenon. The first known ... is that the sounds waves applied to the flask and moving through the liquid to the bubble create a shock wave within the bubble. This shock wave compresses the bubble at a ve...
