Sonoluminescence: How Sound Creates Light in Water? Biggest Mystery

Sonoluminescence is an intriguing scientific phenomenon in which small bubbles in a liquid emit flashes of light when subjected to intense sound waves. The term "sonoluminescence" is derived from the combination of "sono" (meaning sound) and "luminescence" (meaning light emission). This phenomenon occurs under specific conditions, usually involving a liquid such as water or a mixture of water and air, and extremely strong sound waves.
It's worth noting that sonoluminescence is still an area of active research, and the exact mechanisms behind it are not yet fully understood. However, experts believe that the extreme conditions present inside the collapsing bubble, including the formation of plasma, play a crucial role in the emission of light.

Maybe the sound moves the water in such a way that it reflect all the light comming in and point them in the center of the glass?!?!??! idk just syaing

[@debanjanbhaduri2622]

Well if the air, is compressed suddenly, it will lead to adiabatic heating. Which can turn the air into plasma for fraction of seconds.
Now this is just a thought. I don't know wheather it's right or not.

Is it Cavtation

[@jaydenwilson9522]

@@catkitten5182 And when Sound Waves hit a specific density in a subspace it emits radiation from the EM spectrum.... shhh don't tell the current paradigm that sound makes EM radiation lol as they've bifurcated the phenomena into mechanical and non-mechanical waves lol

Water has diamagnetic properties, under frequency and enough amplitude, I believe it pulled a elemental or atomic particle in centralized between the 2 transducers in a quantum resonating effect or manner where then the amplitude caused the element or particle to ionize therefore giving off it's color, hypothetical guess that makes most sense to me, anyone else? Nice work

[@jeffmachul9562]

❤. Yea and cold fission work! You just can't have it,!

[@tonytor5346]

Spectroscopy should give you a clue?.

[@ZephyrusTheReal]

How is this not a simple case of path/state of least resistance and conservation of energy… perhaps quantum tunnelling may play a part

[@outspoken117]

Maybe the deuterium in the water splits into two hydrogen atoms.

It's exactly how stars are made in the waters above
