Abstract
We report here a calculation, based on Landau's hydrodynamical equations, of the intensities of the Brillouin spectral components due to density (first-sound) and entropy (second-sound) fluctuations in pure He II under pressure. In the hydrodynamic regime of temperature, the intensities of second-sound Brillouin components are found to be as strong as one tenth of those of the first-sound components under optimum pressure.
