What happened in newtons ring experiment if the glass plate is replaced by mirror?
if we use glass plate then ring's will be clear
Why do we observe the dark and bright colored frings in newton's ring?
the newton's rings are formed due to the phenomenon of thin film interference. here, the condition for constructive interference(the ring appearing bright) is that the optical path difference between interfering waves should be an integral multiple of the wavelength. the optical path difference is given by 2t-(l/2) if t is the thickness of the air film at that point and l is the wavelength of light. at the central point, the lens touches the surface so thickness t=0. thus the optical path difference is simply l/2, which is the condition for destructive interference, not constuctive interference. so the central spot has to always be dark.
How can incandescent light be made coherent?
Theoretically it cannot as destructive interference between incoherant wave trains occur (i.e. photons are released spontaneously)
How do you calculate wavelength in Newton's ring experiment?
The condition for constructive interference in thin filmis,m = 0,1,2,....From equation (1) putting the value of t in the above equation we get,since n = 1 for air filmorFor first bright ring, m = 0For second bright ring, m = 1For third bright ring, m = 2Similarly, for Nth bright ring,m = N - 1Radius for dark ringThe condition for destructive interference in thin filmis,2tn = mλ m = 0,1,2,....By putting the value of t, we get,For air n = 1For i.e. point of contact.
What is the weight of 54kg in newtons on earth?
54kg in newtons on earth weighs 529.2 newtons.
Destructive interference occur because of what?
a
If intermittent and difficult-to-diagnose wireless communication errors occur what might be the culprit?
Interference - If intermittent and difficult-to-diagnose wireless communication errors occur, interference might be the culprit.
Explain any one engineering application of interference due to thin films?
newtons rings
Does a 2004 Subaru have an interference engine?
yes, valve to piston interference is likely to occur if belt fails
Does Packet Collisions occur in Token Ring Networks?
No, unless the ring is broken then collision can occur
Do interference effects occur for sound waves?
Yes, indeed!
Why does the ring of fire occur where it does?
Because it wants to occur (:
If intermittent and difficult-to-diagnose wireless communication errors occur?
Interference.
What would occur when light is reflected from a rough or unpolished surface?
interference
Lowest frequency at which destructive interference is observed?
Constructive and destructive interference can occur at any frequency. Superposition of waves is not dependent on a specific frequency.
According to newtons third law forces always occur in what pairs?
equal but opposite
What is formed when constructive and destructive interference occur at the same time?
Standing wave
