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.

Determation of wave lenght using diffraction grating?

The wavelength of light can be determined using a diffraction grating by measuring the angles of the diffraction pattern produced by the grating. The relationship between the wavelength of light, the distance between the grating lines, and the angles of diffraction can be described by the grating equation. By measuring the angles and using this equation, the wavelength of light can be calculated.
