= 20 B = 20x2.9465x 103cm = 5.893 10? cm = 0.05893 cm
= 0.5893 mm =0.59 mm
Initial reading of micrometer =2.32 mm
Final reading of the micrometer = (2.32+ 0.59) mm=2.9] mm or 1.73 mm.
Example 4: _ Ina biprism experiment the micrometer readings for zero order

and tenth order fringes if ,, is changed to 7500 x 10# cm?
Solution:
The position of zero order fringe will remain unchanged due to change in
wavelength, for it corresponds to zero path difference between the interferin,
waves of all wavelengths. Hence, when wavelength is changed pie

The distance between zeroth order and tenth order fringe is

Example 8: Newton's rings are formed by reflection in the air film between a
plane surface and a spherical surface of radius 50 cm and it is noticed that the
centre of the ring system is bright. If the diameter of the third bright ring is
0.181 cm and the diameter of the 23! bright ring is 0.501 cm what is the
wavelength of light used?
Solution:
Given R=50cm
Diameter of third ring = D,=D3= 0.181 cm
Diameter of 23“ ring= Deo D,, = 0.501 cmWe have 4pR

Example 9: In a Newton's ring experiment the diameter of 4" and 12 dark
rings are 0.400 cm and 0.700 cm, respectively. Deduce the diameter of 20th
dark ring?
Solution:
We have D?,,, — Di, = 4pRA
First put m= 4 and m+p = 12 so that we have
iy ~ Di = 4x (12-4) x AR =324R
Again put m=4 and m+p =20 we get D3, —D? = 4x16xAR
