Physics of SAMPADA !

Basically Hot Iron plate is our Task and we are water drops . Can you ever imagine that will we ever be able to cool the plate by merely sprinkling water drops ?

Answer is obvious - If we will not merge so as to form a bucket of water , our task will not be accomplished .

We can keep jumping for sometime because, when a drop of water falls on a very hot iron plate , it gets insulated from the hot iron plate due to a thin layer of water vapour ( This vapour layer can be compared with our individual hope ) which is a bad conductor of heat . It takes quite long to evaporate as heat is conducted from hot plate to the drop through the insulating layer of water vapour very slowly .
