title: Splashing of drops on shallow liquids.
abstract: The events that follow the splashing of a drop on a liquid depend on the depth of the liquid. When the depth is less than about 5 millimeters the crown that is ejected is more unstable than that from a splash on a deep liquid. As the depth is decreased from 25 to 7 millimeters, there is an increase in the maximum height to which the Rayleigh jet rises, and in the number of drops that break away from the jet. With depths less than 7 millimeters these two quantities fall off sharply, and no jet drops are produced for depths less than about 3 millimeters.
