intensity of ring formed depends upon the thickness of air coloumn b\w the lens & glass plate.and the locus of points having same thickness of aircolumn is a circle,with the center as the point of contact of b\w the glass plate and lens.
Since a plano-convex lens is being used in Newton's Rings .. that's why=the fringes are seen circular from above, on the glass plate.=
In michelson interferometer the mirros are perpendicular and because of our eye viewed direction and angle theta the fringes are circular
extende source is required to get nearly parallel rays of light
if we use glass plate then ring's will be clear
newtons ring is formed due to the consequtive circle of different radius of bright and dark in which the centre is dark
Waves traveling through space interfere and produce visible fringes if the conditions are right. In particular, the waves must have some degree of spatial and temporal coherence over a region of space. Fringe localization defines the region of space where interference occurs and fringes with reasonably good contrast are observed. The location of this region relative to the components of the interferometer depends on properties of the source and geometry of the interferometer. In this section, basic properties of fringe localization are illustrated for various types of sources and interferometers. one can divide the different degree of localization in the following way: 1) Localized everywhere: The fringes have high visibility everywhere in the observation space. (Also called non-localized or unlocalized.) 2) Localized: The fringes have high visibility over some surface in the observation space. The fringe localization surface can be curved. 3) Localized at infinity: A lens is used to transform the angular distribution of fringes into a spatial distribution of fringes on an observation plane with high visibility. The observation plane is usually at the back focus of the lens. Otherwise, fringe visibility is too low for observation. (Also called Haidinger's fringes or fringes of equal inclination.) 4) Fringes of equal thickness: Localized fringes, where fringes correspond to contours of constant thickness between two surfaces.

fringes are formed in air film inspacebetween lens and glass plate
Biprism produce straight fringe systems while Newton's rings are circular fringe patterns.
In michelson interferometer the mirros are perpendicular and because of our eye viewed direction and angle theta the fringes are circular
The mirrors are perfectly perpendicular
A lens that only has one flat surface is called a plano convex lens. The plano convex lens makes fringes circular because the air film is symmetrical.
It is due to the reflection of light between two surfaces, which are the spherical surface and its adjacent flat surface. The light frequency depends on the height of the air column between both surfaces. When these points are equal the light reflects from both creating equal brightness. When light is bent, it is reflected by the flat surface and creates dark and bright fringes.
The answer is 127.35cm
In newton's ring experiment,shape of optical fringe pattern circular rings.In cornu's method method, the optical fringe pattern formed between a bent glass beam and an optical flat loid on top of the beam. the bending is accompanied by change in shape of rings from circular to eliptical.

By definition, rings are circular. Therefore, if they were squares, they would not be rings!
rings start collapsing to the centre
