Newton's rings are formed due to:
Correct answer: B. Interference of light
- A. Diffraction of light
- B. Interference of light
- C. Polarization of light
- D. Reflection of light
Explanation
Newton's rings arise from interference between light reflected from the convex lens underside and the flat glass plate, producing concentric bright and dark fringes.

About Optics
Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
