Chapter 36, Problem 37AP

In a Newton’s-rings experiment, a plano-convex glass (n = 1.52) lens having radius r = 5.00 cm is placed on a flat plate as shown in Figure P36.37. When light of wavelength λ = 650 nm is incident normally, 55 bright rings are observed, with the last one precisely on the edge of the lens. (a) What is the radius R of curvature of the convex surface of the lens? (b) What is the focal length of the lens?

let a beam of x rays of wavelength 0.125 nm be incident on an NaCl crystal at angle u 45.0° to the top face of the crystal and a family of reflecting planes. Let the reflecting planes have separation d = 0.252 nm. The crystal is turned through angle f around an axis perpendicular to the plane of the page until these reflecting planes give diffraction maxima. What are the (a) smaller and (b) larger value of f if the crystal is turned clockwise and the (c) smaller and (d) larger value of f if it is turned counterclockwise?
The lens in a Newton’s rings experiment has diameter 20 mm and radius of curvature R = 5.0 m. For l = 589 nm in air, how many bright rings are produced with the setup (a) in air and (b) immersed in water (n = 1.33)?
