Such cleaning is accomplished by accelerating both physical and chemical reactions at the surface. The action may occur in plain water but is often enhanced by the addition of surfactants and even detergents. Any bath that is in some way activated by ultrasonics to produce cavitation is thus by definition an ultrasonic cleaner . Cavitation is the sequential formation and collapse of vapor bubbles and voids in a liquid subjected to acoustic energy at high frequency and intensity. This action is analgous to thermal boiling but without the associated rise in temperature of the mass of liquid, although localized temperatures on the molecular level can be extremely high.
