Abstract
It is known that a drop of water falling on a water surface will entrain a bubble for a range of drop diameters and velocities. The transient volume oscillations of the bubble can be important to the generation of underwater noise. In the present work the volume pulsations are optically detected and the general magnitude of the initial radial oscillation is estimated. The detection method is based on the dynamic extinction of light by the oscillating bubble and on certain optical scattering properties. General progress concerning the scattering of light by bubbles is reviewed in an Appendix.
