For Newton’s rings, the interference condition for constructive and destructive interference is based on the thickness t of the air film and the wavelength of light. The pattern of colored rings can only be observed if the light is polychromatic, as monochromatic light will produce a simple fringe pattern without any color.
Light from a point source in air falls on a spherical glass surface (refractive index, \( \mu = 1.5 \) and radius of curvature \( R = 50 \) cm). The image is formed at a distance of 200 cm from the glass surface inside the glass. The magnitude of distance of the light source from the glass surface is 1cm.
