    Newton's Rings Problem: Determining Thickness of Film for 6250 A Light Rings

    OK, but how can I use that information (the angstroms) to figure out the thickness for the first three light rings?

    Newton's Rings Problem: Determining Thickness of Film for 6250 A Light Rings

    Yes, I don't see a way to connect the 6250 angstroms and the fact that each wavelength must be a multiple of a half. There must be some equation I'm missing, but I just can't figure out the problem.

    Newton's Rings Problem: Determining Thickness of Film for 6250 A Light Rings

    I apologize for not clarifying wavelength, but I intended to. As for the film, I believe it means some form of glass, but its not really relevant to the solution of my problem.

    Newton's Rings Problem: Determining Thickness of Film for 6250 A Light Rings

    Homework Statement If the apparatus for showing Newton's rings is illuminated with light at 6250 A (angstroms), what thickness of film underlies each of the first three light rings? Homework Equations 2D (the thickness of the film) equals a multiple of 1/2 of a wavelength 1 angstrom =...
