21. 3), the floating water droplet has an oblate, lens-like, shape, and thus the growth should have a square root dependence of the time in the first approximation (exponent = -0.5). Thus, these data support the nucleation-and-growth mechanism of water droplets, in which the water droplets grow due to the steady condensation of water vapor onto their surface.
