[UPSC IFoS 2020] Interference (Q182, 20M)

Consider the formation of Newton's rings when two closely spaced wavelengths are present, for example, the \text{D}_1 and \text{D}_2 lines of sodium (\lambda_1 = 5890\text{ \AA} and \lambda_2 = 5896\text{ \AA}). What will be the effect of the presence of these two wavelengths as the lens is gradually moved away from the plate? What will happen if the sodium lamp is replaced by a white source? (The radius of curvature of the lens, R = 100\text{ cm})
