32. -4 in weight ratio which does not impair the original purity (99.99%) of the mercury; thus the changes of the physical properties of the fluid are negligible. The mixture was stable over a few weeks during the measurement.
33. The repetitive interval of the bursts is T∼1 ms. But 128 successive echoes are used in the calculation to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Consequently, the temporal resolution becomes 131 ms. The highest frequency of the fluctuation in this experiment is less than 5 Hz.
