The Propagation of Ultrasonic Wave in Phenol

The study investigates ultrasonic wave propagation in phenol and water, focusing on velocity determination and adiabatic compressibility calculations. Using an ultrasonic interferometer and high-frequency generator, the experimental observations reveal notable differences in ultrasonic velocities and compressibility for the two liquids. The results show higher ultrasonic velocity and lower compressibility for water compared to phenol. This analysis provides valuable insights into the acoustic and molecular properties of the studied liquids, contributing to advancements in material characterization through ultrasonic techniques.
