We investigated light scattering in a KH2P04 crystal undergoing a phase transition at ±175°C. We show that the total intensity of the scattered light decreases near the transition point. An investigation of the fine structure of the scattered-light line has made it possible to determine the temperature dependence of the hypersonic-wave velocity.
