Review of multiple-variable sonoluminescence experiments and future phenomenon applications.

Sonoluminescence is a phenomenon in which an acoustically levitated gas bubble inside a liquid body cavitates and produces light. Bubble dynamics and the interference of acoustic waves are the cause for cavitation, however the mechanism of producing light remains unknown. In this review, multiple theories and hypotheses are discussed and analyzed, as well as experiments that have been done in attempts to intensify the glow of this bubble. This report covers experimental liquid variables, gas properties, the container shape, and future applications.
