  3. Wavelength remains constant
  4. Wavelength cannot be determined

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a Newton's rings experiment, if the radius of the ring increases, what can be inferred about the wavelength of light used?
  • Step 1: Understand that Newton's rings are formed by the interference of light waves.
  • Step 2: Know that the radius of the rings is related to the wavelength of the light used.
  • Step 3: Remember that if the radius of the rings increases, it means the rings are getting larger.
  • Step 4: Realize that a larger radius indicates a longer wavelength of light.
  • Step 5: Conclude that if the radius of the rings increases, the wavelength of the light must also be increasing.
