Abstract
High frequency capillary waves on the surface of dilute aqueous solutions of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide have been studied by quasielastic light scattering. The wave propagation deviates significantly from classical expectation, due to enhanced coupling between the capillary and dilational modes of the surface. At a concentration of 0.04mM the capillary wave behavior clearly demonstrates mixing of these two surface modes. The effects appear to derive from a reduction in the stability of the dilational waves.Keywords
