QUESTION :
The radius of the 5 th Newton ring is 3 mm , when light of wavelength 4×10⁻⁴ m is used . Find the radius of curvature of the lens used .
A) 0.8 mm
B) 0.5 cm
C) 0.5 mm
D) 0.8 cm
ANSWER :
Given :
Radius of the n th ring = 3 mm .
Wavelength of light = 4×10⁻⁴ m
1 m = 10² cm ⇒ 10²×10 mm ⇒ 10³ mm .
4 × 10⁻⁴m ⇒ 4 × 10⁻⁴ × 10³ mm
⇒ 4 × 10⁻¹ mm
⇒ 0.4 mm
Number of rings = 5 .
Let the radius of curvature be R .
Using the formula :
Radius of nth ring = √[ wavelength × radius of ring ( number of rings - 1/2 ) ]
⇒ 3 mm = √[ 0.4 mm × R ( N - 1/2 ) ]
⇒ 3 mm = √[ 0.4 R × ( 5 - 1/2 ) ]
⇒ 3 mm = √[ 0.4 R × ( 10 - 1 ) / 2 ]
⇒ 3 mm = √[ 0.4 R × 9/2 ]
⇒ 3 mm = √[ 0.2 R × 9 ]
⇒ 3 mm = √( 1.8 R )
⇒ 9 mm² = 1.8 R
⇒ R = ( 9/1.8 )
⇒ R = 5 mm
5 mm is equivalent to 0.5 cm .
Hence the radius of curvature of the lens is 0.5 cm .
OPTION B is correct !
