NEWTON’S RINGS - Q13


13) What do you expect to see in the microscope if you use a white light source?
Ans: If a white light (polychromatic source) is used, for each wavelength a pattern will be formed. These diameters will depend on the wavelengths. Few rings are clear at centre and blurring occurs at distance away from centre due to overlapping of different patterns.
