Newton's rings are formed due to the interference of light waves reflected between a plano-convex lens and a flat glass surface in contact with each other. This interference creates alternating dark and bright rings, with the center being a dark spot. The varying thickness of the air gap between the lens and the glass surface causes the light waves to interfere constructively and destructively, resulting in the pattern of rings.

Why cornu's fringes are hyperbolic and newtons rings are circular?

Cornu's fringes are hyperbolic because they are formed due to the interference of light waves that are not perfectly spherical when they meet at an angle. Newton's rings are circular because they are formed by the interference of light waves that are spherical in shape due to reflection between a flat glass surface and a convex lens.


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.=

What is the angular fringe width in newtons rings?

The angular fringe width in Newton's rings is given by the equation δθ = λ / R, where δθ is the angular fringe width, λ is the wavelength of light, and R is the radius of curvature of the lens or mirror producing the rings. It represents the distance between adjacent bright or dark fringes in the pattern.


Is Saturn made by rings?

No. Saturn has rings, but it is no way owes its existence to them. It is uncertain how the rings formed, but they may be what is left of a moon that was destroyed.
