Newton's Ring Apparatus

Product Code : ILS-LAO-10817

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Newton's Ring Apparatus (Product ID: 10817) as part of its light and optics range. It holds a plano-convex lens against a flat glass plate to produce Newton’s rings.

Quick Answer

The thin film of air between the curved lens and the flat plate produces concentric interference rings, with a dark centre in reflected light. Three thumbscrews in the plastic frame adjust the contact pressure, which centres and steadies the pattern. With monochromatic light and a travelling microscope, students measure ring diameters and use Dn+m² − Dn² = 4mλR to find the wavelength λ or the lens radius of curvature R. Lens diameter and focal length are not stated; please confirm them at quotation.
