Drop (liquid)

A drop or droplet is a small column of liquid, bounded completely or almost completely by free surfaces. A drop may form when liquid accumulates at the lower end of a tube or other surface boundary, producing a hanging drop called a pendant drop. Drops may also be formed by the condensation of a vapor or by atomization of a larger mass of liquid.Blue dye being dropped in a saucer of milk.Impact of a drop of water.Backjet from drop impact.A drop of water hitting a metal surface/ crown formation due to splashing of droplet.A drop of water hitting a wet metal surface and ejecting more droplets, which become water globules and skim across the surface of the water.A drop of water on a leaf / Hydrophobic effect/ Partial Wetting.A triple backjet after impact.Photo of a raindrop on a fern frond.Detaching drop.Water droplets forming out of a shower head.A drop of water on an AsteraceaeDroplets of water refracting a small flower.A raindrop on a leafWater droplets on glass.Fountain water droplets as seen in very short exposureRain droplets on Rose plant leaf A drop or droplet is a small column of liquid, bounded completely or almost completely by free surfaces. A drop may form when liquid accumulates at the lower end of a tube or other surface boundary, producing a hanging drop called a pendant drop. Drops may also be formed by the condensation of a vapor or by atomization of a larger mass of liquid. Liquid forms drops because the liquid exhibits surface tension.
