Abstract
According to theory based on an ideal metal, the ultrasonic attenuation should be proportional to the square of the frequency and to the electrical conductivity of the metal. Experiments were performed to compare theoretical and experimental values of attenuation in a frequency range from 100 kc/sec to 1 Mc/sec.Keywords
