QUESTION:

Newton’s rings can be seen when a planoconvex lens is placed on a flat glass surface. For a particular lens with an index of refraction of n=1.50 and a glass plate with an index of n=1.80, the diameter of the third bright ring is 0.720 mm. If water n=1.33 now fills the space between the lens and the plate, what is the new diameter of this ring?
