Abstract
The fundamental science responsible for chemical and physical effects caused by ultrasound in a liquid medium is discussed in this chapter. Various events that occur when sound waves of appropriate frequency and power interact with a liquid medium are explained. Acoustic cavitation process and the generation of strong physical forces and highly reactive radicals have been described in simple terms. Also, the effect of acoustic frequency on the physical and chemical effects is discussed. Overall, this chapter provides a simplistic view of acoustic cavitation and associated events that is required to fully understand the processes discussed in Chap. 2.
