glass plate is tilted at an angle of 45 degrees in order to reflect the light right over the apparatus such that it acts as parallel beam of incident lights.
The glass plate in Newton's ring experiment is inclined at 45 degrees to avoid interference effects caused by reflections from the two surfaces of the glass plate. At this angle, the reflections from the top and bottom surfaces of the glass plate exhibit a relative phase difference of 180 degrees, which cancels out interference effects, allowing for clear observation of the interference fringes.
If you replace the glass plate with a plane mirror in the Newton's rings experiment, interference fringes will not be observed. The formation of Newton's rings depends on the light reflecting off the two surfaces of the air film between the glass plate and the lens, creating interference patterns. However, the mirror does not create the necessary conditions for interference to occur.
A plano-convex lens is used in Newton's rings experiment because the convex surface of the lens helps to create a well-defined thin air gap when placed against a flat glass plate. This air gap is where the interference pattern, known as Newton's rings, forms when illuminated with monochromatic light. The curvature of the convex surface of the lens also helps to distribute the pressure evenly, ensuring a better contact between the lens and the glass plate.
The angle of refraction is zero in Newton's ring experiment because the incident light is perpendicular to the plane of the glass plate, so refraction does not occur. This allows for constructive interference between the incident and reflected light waves, leading to the formation of interference rings.
Isaac Newton's triangular prism was likely made of glass, a common material for prisms during his time due to its transparency and ability to refract light.
The rings are formed due to interference between two surfaces – a convex lens and a flat glass plate placed in contact. The rings are most prominent at the point of contact between the two surfaces.

a simple illustration of solar energy will be good. all the materials that u will need are the glass pieces inclined at certain degrees which have to be done by pasting these pieces.. a simple illustration of solar energy will be good. all the materials that u will need are the glass pieces inclined at certain degrees which have to be done by pasting these pieces..

That probably depends on the experiment.

Isaac newton was the first one to split white light into its colours using a glass block !
Because alexander thye greats son liked windows and he ate glass
