| Research Abstract |
We have studied a mechanism of light emission from acoustic cavitation bubbles(sonoluminescence). Sonoluminescence from alkali-metal atoms, such as sodium and potassium, have been interested because its emission site is questioned, that is gas phase inside bubble or liquid phase at bubble/liquid interface. Sonoluminescence spectrum were investigated under the conditions of various temperatures, various dissolved gases and various ultrasonic frequencies. High-speed camera was used to study bubble dynamics which are closely related to the occurrence of sonoluminescence. The results of the present study strongly suggest the alkali-metal emission is originated from gas phase inside bubble. Furthermore, two components of Na emission, energy-shifted and broadened line and unshifted narrow line, were observed for the first time. This finding should be clarified in future and will provide a new development of sonoluminescence study.
