Welcome to PF;
If I understand you correctly - this is due to imperfect equipment. |

Dear Simon,
I don't think it is due to apparatus imperfection. There is a formula for fringe width which is given by β=λ/2nθ, where n is the order of the fringe. but none of the text book has given the explanation for this. |

If you post a vague message, and come in once a month to update it with only minimal new information, it will take you a very long time to get your answer.

see the equation for circular fringes about half way down the page. |
