    Newton S Ring

    Newton's ring is an interference pattern created between two surfaces - a spherical lens surface and an adjacent flat glass plate. Light from a monochromatic source is reflected between the two surfaces, creating a set of concentric bright and dark rings when viewed under a microscope. The construction involves using a lens and glass plate separated by a thin air film. The principle is that the reflected light rays from the two surfaces interfere and combine, resulting in the ring pattern. Applications include using the ring radii to determine the wavelength of light or refractive index of liquids.

    NEWTON’S RING :

    It is phenomenon in which an interference


    pattern is created by reflection of light between
    two surfaces –
    1. a spherical surface (plano-convex lens)
    2. an adjacent touching flat surface
    (glass plate).
    CONSTRUCTION:
     A Monochromatic source of light S is kept
    at the focus of lens L1.
     The parallel beam of light emerging from
    L1 falls on the glass plate G kept at 45°.
     The glass plate reflects a part of the
    incident light vertically downwards
    normally on the thin air film enclosed by
    the plano-convex lens L and plane glass
    plate P.
     The reflected beam from the air film is
    viewed in microscope. Alternate bright and
    dark circular rings with dark spots at the
    centre can be seen.
    Newton’s ring experimental setup
    Experimental set-up:
    Principle Of Newton’s Ring:
     Division of amplitude
     Light ray AB from monochromatic source incident on the system and reflects
    from both the lower surface of the plano convex lens and the upper surface of
    the optical flat glass plate as ray 1 and 2.
     The reflected rays combine and superpose.
     These rings are concentric.
    Newton’s Ring as observed under the
    Microscope
    Applications :
     Using the method of Newton’s rings, the wavelength of a given
    monochromatic source of light can be determined.
    The radius of nth dark ring and (n+m)the dark ring are given by
    rn2 = nRλ and r2n+m = (n+m) Rλ
    rn+m2 – rn2 = mRλ
    so, λ = [rn+m2 – rn2] / mr
     Using Newton’s rings, the refractive index of a liquid can be
    calculated. Let λa and λm represent the wavelength of light in air and
    in medium (liquid). If rn is the radius of the nth dark ring in the air and
    if rn is the radius of the nth dark ring in liquid, then
    rn2 = nRλa
    r`n2 = nRλm = nRλa/μ

    so,

    μ = rn2/ r`n2
