Is it possible that a droplet of water can bounce from the surface of a volume of water?
Answer
if you watch extreme slow motion film of a single water droplet falling into other water, usually a completely flat horizontal surface, you see many circular ripples being created, most of the droplet being absorbed by the body of water, but a tiny ( about 5% of original drop ) droplet being formed, and returning back, vertically upwards.
How much of this is the falling droplet I am unsure of, it may me mostly from the target pool.
I suggest a further experiment, where the falling droplet contains an intense dark dye, falling into completely pure water, filming with a high frequency stroboscope or fluorescent exciter, to further determine this.
