Wedge is straight

Answered by Anonymous

It depends on the shape of the lens/glass plate placed over the lower glass plate. In Air wedge experiment, the air film is formed between two glass plates tbut in the case of newton’s ring experiment it is formed between the lens which has the curved surface and glass plate so that the film has an increasing radius from the point of contact of lens and plate.
