Sonochemistry: In chemistry, the study of sonochemistry is concerned with understanding the effect of sonic waves and wave properties on chemical systems. Since acoustic waves have unique physical properties, the corresponding atomic and molecular chemistry is unique as well. Often these effects are most apparent in ultrasonic systems. This is demonstrated in phenomena such as ultrasound, sonication, sonoluminescence and sonic cavitation.

Introduction to Sonochemistry: The chemical effects of acoustic cavitation were first noticed in the 1930's but the process was essentially untouched until the mid 1980's. At this time inexpensive ultrasound equipment became commonplace and the process was rediscovered with various applications explored...
