"D_n = 0.28 cm = 0.0028 m"


"\\lambda = 6000 A^0 = 6000 \\times 10^{-10}m"


Radius of curvature


"R = \\frac {D^2_n}{4n \\lambda}"



"R = \\frac {0.0028^2}{4 \\times 9 \\times 6000 \\times 10^{-10}} = 0.3629 m = 36.29 cm"


 diameter of 16th dark ring


"D_{16} = \\sqrt{R \\times 4 n \\lambda}"


"D_{16} = \\sqrt{0.3629 \\times 4\\times16 \\times 6000 \\times 10^{-10}} = 0.003733 m =0.3733 cm"
