Multiple choice

The potential arising due to the propagation of ultrasound through a fluid containing ions and either solid particles or emulsion droplets ?

  1. Ion Vibration Current/Potential

  2. Streaming Vibration Current/Potential

  3. Colloid vibration current

  4. Zeta potential
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Colloid vibration current is an electroacoustic phenomenon that arises when ultrasound propagates through a fluid that contains ions and either solid particles or emulsion droplets .The pressure gradient in an ultrasonic wave moves particles relative to the fluid. This motion disturbs the double layer that exists at the particle-fluid interface.
