Abstract
The acoustic character of the intermolecular 60 cm−1 and 175 cm−1 Raman bands from liquid water, that is, their respective S-wave (transverse acoustic, shear) and P-wave (longitudinal acoustic, dilatational) nature seems hitherto unappreciated. Consideration of these two intermolecular vibrations as acoustic modes indicates that both are collective, involving second- and third-nearest-neighbor interactions.

The terms S-wave and P-wave were used, purposely, instead of transverse acoustic (TA) and longitudinal acoustic (LA) to emphasize the connection to the stress-wave theory of isotropic elastic solids, as opposed to terminology related to phonons in crystals. Liquid water behaves like a glass at THz sound frequencies. Hence, it may be treated as an isotropic elastic solid at such frequencies.
