Consider a plane wave incident on a convex lens of diameter 5 cm and of focal length 10 cm. If the wavelength of the incident light is 6000 Å, calculate the radius of the first dark ring on the focal plane of the lens. Repeat the calculations for a lens of same focal length but diameter 15 cm. Interpret the results physically.

[Ans. 1.46 × 10-4 cm, 4.88 × 10-5 cm]
