About this book
The Splash of a Drop is by A. M. Worthington. The opening says the work is the reprint of a discourse delivered at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, May 18, 1894. The discourse begins by saying that the splash of a drop is a transaction which is accomplished in the twinkling of an eye.
The author says that it occurred to him about eighteen years ago to endeavour, by means of the illumination of a suitably-timed electric spark, to watch a drop through its various changes on impact. Another part of the discourse describes a polished sphere of marble about 0·6 of an inch in diameter, rubbed very dry with a cloth and dropped from a height of 2 feet into water, and says the splash is insignificantly small and of very short duration.
