The subject in the study of the characteristic and interaction about the bubble occuring near a free liquid surface of water is carried out by the method of laser-generated cavitation bubble and high speed camera system. The experimental results indicate that the dimensionless distance between the bubble and free surface affects the bubble motion and plume of water. The summary of the relation between the dimensionless distance and the maximum radius, period of motion, the height of water column and the time of the plume of water are provided. There are five different plumes for different dimensionless distances. It provides an experimental reference to the research on the interaction of the bubble and free liquid surface.
