Text Box: Natural frequency µ ~ 1/R0
The exponentially decaying sinusoid seen in the hydrophone signal generated when a bubble is “pinched off” is typical of a lightly-damped oscillator, the system which air bubbles in water mimic at low amplitude.
The natural frequency at which the bubble rings is, to an approximation , inversely proportional to the equilibrium bubble radius, R0.
