Ultrasonic properties of water/sorbitol solutions.
Ultrasonic longitudinal velocity and attenuation were measured for aqueous solutions of sorbitol at approximately 5 MHz. For pure sorbitol, the ultrasonic velocity reached 3200 m s(-1), consequently leading to a high acoustical impedance (around 5 x 10(6) Rayleigh) and good matching between the ultrasonic transducers and material samples.
