The voltage causes a spark in the vapor of the bubble.
One man's conclusion is that sonoluminescence is caused by the spark.
"In (cavitation) bubbles is vapour. It is like (a) small cloud. Big clouds
big lightning,
small clouds small lightning"

This is a pdf that describes measuring voltage in liquid under ultrasound.

The voltages are low, but the bubbles are small.
Just thought I'd pass it along.

Where?

To a physicist friend with 25 years of experience in ultrasonics.
You have my permission to read it :-)

You missed the most important: " We know that V = Q/C. It means that at
evaporating the voltage drops. At
condensation grow up."
Water is the insulator. The only way to change electrons (to equalise the
voltages) are sparks.
It is interesting that things which were clarified centuries ago are
described in Wiki totally wrong.
It apply to cavitation, atmospheric electricity, piezoelectricity,
ferroelectricity and simmilar.
