With Newton’s ring experiment explain how to determine the

refractive index of liquid.

SOLUTION

1.The experiment is performed when there is an air film between the

plano-convex lens and the optically plane glass plate.

2.The diametre of the mth and the (m+p)th dark rings are determined
with the help of a travelling microscope.

For air :
m+p2
D = 4(m + p)λR
Dm 2 = 4mλR
D(m + p 2 )  − D 2m = 4pλR
3.As shown in figure arrange the lens with glass plate. Pour one or
two drops of liquid whose refractive index is to be determined
without disturbing the arrangement. Now the air film between the
lens and glass plate is replaced by the liquid. The diameters of

m+pth and mth rings are determined.

For liquids,

2µtcos r = mλ,for dark rings

For normal incidence cosr =1,so

2µt = mλ

r2
t=
2R
D
r=
2
Rearranging the above equation ,we get
4mλR
D 2m =
µ

We have D 2m+p − D 2m = 4pλR

For liquids,

2 4pλR
D(m + p) − D 2m =
µ

From these two euations the refractive index of the given liquids is
given by

D 2m+p − D 2m
µ=
D ′m+p
2 − D ′m2
4.In this way,refractive index of liquid is found using Newton’s
rings.
