Noncontact Measurements of Resonance of Small Round Liquid Surfaces Using Sound Wave to Determine Surface Tension

Various methods have been developed for measuring the surface tension of liquids, and the present study proposes a new method for measuring the surface tension of liquids. A small (9 mm diameter) round liquid surface was excited by sound waves with a common speaker. Nine liquids possessing various physical properties and functional groups were employed, and three resonance frequencies (
