Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution:

Calculate the diameter of Newton's 3rd ring from the following relation.

Dn=4nRλ...............................................................................................................................(i)    

Here, n is the order of ring, R is the radius of lens, and λ is the wavelength of monochromatic light.

Substitute 3 for n, 0.55 m for R, 400nm for λ.

D3=4×3×0.55×400×10-9=264×10-8=16.25×10-4=1.625 mm

Hence, the diameter of the 3rd ring is 1.625mm.
