Abstract
The presently accepted hypothesis of the origin of sonoluminescence is the generation of the spherical shock wave in the gas as it is focused at the centre of the bubble and the consequent formation of a plasma that causes a flash of light. We present the study of the behaviour of a shock launched by the bubble as it converges and leaves the centre of symmetry. As such a shock propagates towards the centre, upon convergence and subsequent reflection the temperature increases dramatically. Sufficiently high temperatures are predicted to explain the emission of light by the gas.
