Glass vessel
Standing ultrasonic waves are generated in a special
container. It allows the angle of incidence of the waves
to be set precisely to the perpendicular by means of a
special holder for the ultrasound transducer.
The test vessel consists of a glass vessel with a lid and a
holder for the transducer, three adjustment screws to
set the alignment for the standing wave and a laser
holder perpendicular to the axis of the waves which also
has a holder for a lens so that the ultrasonic waves and
the Debye-Sears effect can be projected.
2.3 Lens on a glass slide
A plane-convex lens is attached to a rectangular slide.
This is inserted into the slot in the laser holder of the
test container for experiments involving projection.

3. Experiment procedure
3.1 General instructions for experiments
Pay attention to the following instructions if the ex-
periment is to work:
• Use water that contains as little air as possible since
air bubbles disturb both the ultrasound field and
the refraction of the laser beam.
• Any air bubbles around the probe should be re-
moved.
• Allow for the maximum distance between the test
container and the projection screen.
• When no measurements are being made, the ul-
trasound should be switched off so that the test
fluid does not heat up.
