The shape of air film formed between the plano-convex lens and the glass slab in Newton’s ring experiment is
Show Hint
Newton’s rings result from the interference of light in the wedge-shaped air gap between the lens and the glass plate.
Updated On: June 02, 2025
- Rectangular shape
- Uniform thickness
- Wedge shape
- No air film is formed
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
When a plano-convex lens is placed on a glass slab, an air film is formed which is wedge-shaped. The film thickness gradually changes from the point of contact (negligible thickness) outward.

- Draw a ray diagram to show the refraction of a ray of light passing through an equilateral glass prism. Mark the angle through which the emergent ray bends from the direction of the incident ray and also name it.
- A light ray incidents on an equilateral prism made of material of refractive index $\sqrt{3}$. Inside the prism, if the light ray moves parallel to the base of the prism, then the angle of incidence of the light ray is:
- An unpolarised beam of light incidents on a group of three polarising sheets arranged such that the angle between the axes of any two adjacent sheets is $30^\circ$. The ratio of the intensities of polarised light emerging from the second and third sheets is
- The focal length of a convex lens immersed in a liquid of refractive index 1.2 is \( f_1 \) and its focal length when immersed in another liquid of refractive index 1.25 is \( f_2 \). If the refractive index of the material of the lens is 1.5, then \( f_1 : f_2 = \)
- If in Young's double slit experiment, fifth bright fringe is located at a distance of 0.3 mm from the central bright fringe, then the distance of the seventh dark fringe from the central bright fringe is:
