Does the Water during sonoluminescence heat up?

[nst.john]

When sonoluminescence is happening in water, since the bubble is getting so hot, does the water heat up as well or stay at its normal temperature?

You add energy to the water. It gets warmer, but if you want a significant temperature change there are more efficient methods.

I'm not looking for a change I just want to know if sonoluminescence has a non-negligible effect on the temperature on the water.

 

[mfb]

That depends on the input power and your threshold of "non-negligible".

If I'm putting about a 4.5V sound wave.

 

[mfb]

Units for Volts for a sound wave do not make sense. If it is not Volts, what do you mean?

Thats the amplitude that the oscilloscope says when it is hooked up to a microphone that is on the flask.
