Radius of dark Newton's ring formula ==================================== Newton's rings are annular interference maxima and minima that appear around the point of contact between a convex lens and a plane—parallel plate when light passes through the lens and plate. When the difference in the path of the beam reflected from the convex surface of the lens at the glass-air boundary and the beam reflected from the plate at the air-glass boundary is equal to an entire wave, then these two waves hit the observation point with the same faces and demonstrate interference. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia (ru), last formula in paragraph <https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%86%D0%B0_%D0%9D%D1%8C%D1%8E%D1%82%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B0>`__. ..
