When a plano-convex lens with its convex surface is placed on a plane glass sheet, an air film of gradually increasing thickness outward is formed between the lens and the sheet. The thickness of film at the point of contact is zero. If monochromatic light is allowed to fall normally on the lens, and the film is viewed in reflected light, alternate bright and dark concentric rings are seen around the point of contact. These rings were first discovered by Newton, that's why they are called NEWTON'S RINGS .

WHY NEWTON'S RINGS ARE FORMED
Newton's rings are formed due to interference between the light waves reflected from the top and bottom surfaces of the air film formed between the lens and glass sheet. EXPLANATIONThe phenomenon of the formation of theNewton's rings can be explained on the basis of wave theory of light.
An air film of varying thickness is formed between the lens and the glass sheet.
When a light ray is incident on the upper surface of the lens, it is reflected as well as refracted.
When the refracted ray strikes the glass sheet, it undergo a phase change of 180O on reflection.
Interference occurs between the two waves which interfere constructively if path difference between them is (m+1/2)land destructively if path difference between them is mlproducing alternate bright and dark rings.

What units does the equipment use to measure the force of weight?
The pound.force, or in the SI system the Newton (1 pound.force = 4.48 Newtons)
How do you keep your rings from fading?
To prevent your rings from fading, avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals, such as cleaning agents or perfumes. Remove your rings before activities that may cause damage, such as swimming or exercising. Regularly clean and polish your rings to maintain their shine.
What is the name for 0.1 Newtons?
The name for 0.1 Newtons is 0.1 Newtons.
What is Uranus's gravitational force?
8.8 newtons per kg i hope this is right cause it doesnt seem like it sorry
How many pounds are in 245 newtons?
To convert newtons to pounds, divide the number of newtons by 4.448. Therefore, 245 newtons is approximately 55.06 pounds.
Which light is used in newtons rings?
sodium light
What happens when a concave lens is placed in Newtons' rings experiment?
rings start collapsing to the centre
Why are rings circular in newtons rings?
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.=
Explain any one engineering application of interference due to thin films?
newtons rings
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
What would cause rings to align?
There are no condition that can cause rings to align that was a mistake by the installer. Once the rings are set on the piston they are permanently in place.
Will bad rings cause blue smoke from exhaust?
Stuck or broken oil rings can cause blue smoke.
Why you use newtons ring to determine wavelength?
Newton's rings can be used to determine the wavelength of light because the diameter of the rings varies with the wavelength of the light being used. By measuring the diameter of the rings, the wavelength of the light can be calculated using the formula for constructive interference.
Can gold rings cause arthritis?
No
Cause of broken piston rings?
The primary cause of broken piston rings is a lack of lubrication and excessive heat buildup. Broken rings create lost combustion and excessive oil burning.
What is the use of the newton's rings?
newtons ring is formed due to the consequtive circle of different radius of bright and dark in which the centre is dark
Why all rings in newtons rings are not equispaced?
The rings in Newton's rings are not equispaced because the thickness of the air wedge between the lens and the flat glass plate varies along the surface, leading to varying path differences in the interference pattern. This causes the rings to be closer together in regions of smaller path difference and further apart in regions of larger path difference. The resulting pattern is a series of concentric rings with varying spacing.
