Abstract
This paper visually demonstrates instantaneous behavior of ripples propagating on the surface of a rising bubble through an oil/water interface. This experiment uses potassium iodide (KI) 31 wt% as refractive index matching material which makes the water phase invisible. As a result, the generated micro droplets, which are shown in the preceding paper (Uemura et al. in Europhys Lett 92:34004, 2010), cannot be visible in the present results, and therefore the droplets are positively confirmed to be made of water.
