Using the reflections of high-frequency sound waves to construct an image of a body organ (a sonogram); commonly used to observe fetal growth or study bodily organs.

In physics, a brilliance that is produced in certain materials by high-frequency sound waves or phonons: The physics students in Mr. Greg's class watched the creation of sonoluminescence in a test tube, watching the bubbles, created by sound waves, pop and emit bright flashes.

A reference to the emission of short bursts of lucency from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound: Various sonoluminescent sparkling lights may occur whenever sound waves of sufficient intensities create gaseous cavities within a liquid to quickly collapse.

The sonoluminescent bubbles in the thick liquid in the test tube appeared like bright and instant glowing brilliances that quickly disappeared.

A reference to, or a descriptive term for, the emission of small explosions of lights from imploding bubbles in a liquid when agitated by sound: The sonoluminescently bright sparkles were the results of small bubbles suddenly flying into pieces as they they came up through the thick liquid.

A noise, a sound; a tone.

Ab acutissimo sono usque ad gravisimum sonum. "From the highest treble to the deepest bass."
