"I found/' he says, "the circles which the red light made to be mani- festly bigger than those which were made by blue and violet. And it was very pleasant to see them gradually swell or contract according as the color of the light was changed. " As the radii of the rings depend ...on the color, the larger (red) rings of one order will tend to overlap the smaller (blue) rings of the next higher order. This overlapping will produce indistinctness, so that it will be difficult to see the rings of high order when the incident light is white. If, however, homogeneous light be em- ployed, there is no possibility of overlapping, so that far- more rings may be seen.
