Abstract
A phenomenon discovered in the early 1930s known as sonoluminescence is a short burst of blueish-white light that happens when a small bubble of air in water (or other liquids) is trapped within a standing acoustic wave. Since its discovery, many scientists have attempted to understand and explain the mechanism behind it, but to this day have come up short. In this talk I will discuss some of the going theories as well as some of the data that has been collected over the years. Maybe you can figure it out?
