Chapter 36, Problem 50PQ

Optical flats are flat pieces of glass used to determine the flatness of other optical components. They are placed at an angle above the component as shown in Figure P36.49A, and monochromatic light is incident and observed from above, leading to interference fringes. Figure P36.49C shows the results of one of these tests. What is the approximate difference in the gap thickness between the left and right sides of the optical flat and the component? Is it possible to determine from this figure alone which side has the greater gap thickness (left or right)?
