  • Abstract
    This paper describes how molecular relaxation can be measured using ultrasound. The velocity and absorption of sound varies with frequency due to molecular relaxation. By measuring these variation the relaxation strength and the effective relaxation time for singular relaxations can be calculated. This paper describes initial measurements performed in order to survey the sound properties in gases both experimentally and theoretically.
