Abstract
The dielectric tensor is calculated for critical classical fluids in the presence of acoustic waves by the linear-response theory. Two effects are examined and proposed as new experimental methods. They are diffraction of light by acoustic waves (Debye-Sears effect) and acoustically induced birefringence. These two effects are found to grow near the critical point.Keywords
