Abstract
Light from a sonoluminescing bubble is extinguished if the amplitude of the acoustic field that drives the bubble oscillation exceeds a certain thresh old. It has been suggested that shape instability of the bubble surface is responsible. The effect of viscosity on such an instability is examined her e. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
