Implementation of Newton's Rings Demonstration with Interactive Parameter Control

This program implements an interactive demonstration of Newton's rings phenomenon. Newton's rings are interference patterns formed between a flat glass surface and a convex lens, producing characteristic concentric rings when these optical elements make contact. The simulation features three key adjustable parameters: wavelength of light, curvature radius of the lens, and thickness of the air gap at the point of contact. Users can manipulate these parameters through real-time slider controls to simulate various interference scenarios. The program calculates interference patterns using optical path difference algorithms, dynamically rendering ring colors that approximate actual wavelength-dependent interference effects. This visualization approach helps users better understand the formation mechanism of Newton's rings. Through this interactive simulation, readers can deepen their theoretical knowledge of interference phenomena and reinforce their learning through practical experimentation with different physical parameters. The underlying code implements interference calculations using precise mathematical models of light wave superposition, providing an accurate representation of this fundamental optical phenomenon.
