Question

Select the correct way to complete the following statement: In a Newton's Rings interference pattern the rings become narrower as you move outward from the centre because... Select one: the film thickness changes more rapidly with increasing distance from the centre. O shorter wavelengths exhibit interference further from the centre. O longer wavelengths exhibit interference further from the centre. cross out cross out cross out the width of the gap is greater further from the cente. O the lens is thinner further from the centre. cross out cross out

Explanation / Answer

Rings get closer as the order increases (m increases) since the diameter does not increase in the same proportion.

In Newton's ring interference pattern the rings become narrower as you move outward from the center because:

The film thickness changes more rapidly with increasing distance from the center.
