Abstract
THE Debye–Sears diffraction fringes of light, produced by ultrasonic waves from a generator, in the ordinary organic liquids are generally about the same in number. In strong contrast to this, it is found that the number of spectral orders observed in viscous liquids like castor oil, olive oil, etc., are appreciably smaller in number for the same electrical set-up.
