Abstract
A slightly modified form of Frenkel’s hole theory of liquids is developed and it is shown that three characteristic hole parameters can be chosen in such a fashion that quantitative agreement between theory and experiment is obtained for numerous thermal and mechanical properties of liquid benzene. The Cummins–Gammon formulas for Rayleigh and Brillouin scattering of liquids are deduced from the hole theory and, thus, it is demonstrated that the hole theory provides a suitable model for the nonpropagating density fluctuations of the phenomenological scattering theory.
