Why are fringes straight?
Why are fringes straight? In a wedge-shaped film, each fringe is the locus of points of equal thickness of the film. For wedge shape air film, the locus of points of equal thickness is straight lines parallel to the edge of the wedge. So, fringes appear straight and parallel. How circular fringes are formed? The […]
