COMPUTER MODEL OF INTERFERENCE PICTURES OF THE NEWTON RINGS

Examples of computer processing images of interference patterns (Newton rings) obtained by digital video camera are considered. The sequence of computer processing of the obtained images of interference patterns is described and the possibility of comparing them with a theoretical model of the intensity distribution, for which an interpolation formula is proposed, is shown. To compare the distributions, a software product was developed, a series of so-called «sliders», each of which changes one of the parameters of the interpolation formula. By changing the position of the «sliders», it is possible to approximate the parameters of the theoretical model to the distribution of the radiation intensity in a real interference pattern. Computer processing of images obtained by a digital video camera can be used in subsequent courses in the study of special disciplines, when performing research work, in processing measurement results and constructing models of physical phenomena.
