Newton’s Rings Demo
Bubbles have color on them because of a bright illumination that appear in waves from
two surfaces in a constructive and deductive manner. In this sense, light waves usually reflect
around glass interfaces. The process gives rise to concentric ring arrays in white and
monochromatic lights. When bubbles are blown, the surface of the bubbles expands and blows
upwards towards the surface of the mixture. The convex surface at the focal length lens becomes
in contact with a plane glass disk before clamping together with the radius of the curvature
(Heinecke 18). The adjustment screws secure the close contact at the center.
The surface of the mixture looks like it does because of a thin air that forms around the
glass surface. There is a formation of ensemble that is observed in a reflected light around an
extended source of light. Reflections from the top and bottom of the of the plane glass disk bring
about an overall glare. One vital part of the reflection touches on surfaces that are in contact. In
this regard, there exists no phase change on the glass-air surface within the convex lens since the
reflection on the surface of the air glass.
By observing the peacock feathers, it is not possible to see the color shift because the first
maximum light reflected is white in color and the distance between the two surfaces covers the
whole spectrum. In this regard, successive rings tend to cover a wide range of coloration. The
whole process makes blue and red to form a monochromatic ring with blue forming at a
reflection maximum.
