Abstract
Measurements of the velocity and absorption of supersonic waves in carbon tetrafluoride were made over a range of pressures for each of two different frequencies. From the dispersion and absorption curves so obtained, the specific heat for equilibrium conditions, that portion of the specific heat due to intra‐molecular vibrations, and the mean lifetime of a quantum of vibrational energy were calculated.Keywords
