An air wedge is formed between two glass plates separated at one edge by a very fine wire. When the wedge is illuminated from above by a 600nm light and viewed from above, 30 dark fringes are observed. Calculate the radius of the wire.
Am I correct to consider only the bottom surface of the top plate and the top surface from the bottom plate for the interference pattern? By considering that, I got [tex]2t=\frac{m\lambda}{2}[/tex]. But what do I do after that?
