Abstract
The effect of thin uniform bubble screens on sound propagation in water has been investigated over a frequency range of 15-100 kc/s for bubbles with diameters between 0.016 and 0.050 cm. The density of the bubble screen was varied from 1 bubble in 10 cm2 to 4 bubbles per cm2. The results obtained confirm to a considerable accuracy the theory originally proposed by Foldy and also provide values of the damping constants of gas bubbles which are consistent with those obtained from measurements on isolated bubbles.
