Single bubble sonoluminescence is a phenomenon in which acoustic energy traps and compresses a bubble resulting in the emission of light through an, as of yet, unidentified mechanism. Mathematical modeling of the single bubble system allows for theoretical predictions of the bubbles interior atmosphere such as radius, pressure and temperature as a function of time. Profiling of the light through polarization measurements, wavelength specific filter imaging as well as raw image analysis may give further insight as to the dynamics of the trapped bubble and a possible mechanism. Results of the linear polarization measurements indicate that the light emitted is not linearly polarized. Long exposures of the light clearly reproduce previously reported data of the high energy, short wavelength end of the visible spectrum by the bluish-violet glow emanating from the bubble. The procedure and design improvements of the apparatus that were made make the phenomenon of sonoluminescence more accessible to study as an undergraduate.
