In this paper, we study the formation process of a soap bubble by blowing soap film. Both bubble diameter and formation position were investigated in experiments. We found that the ratio between bubble size and soap film column is constant, and that the formation position increases linearly within a critical length-range. We used the theory of Rayleigh-Plateau instability to explain these findings. The theoretical explanations are consistent with the experimental data.
