If one considers the interference of two extended sources and if one is able to observe fringes only at certain points in space one says that the fringes are localized on those points. As an example we show how the localized fringes may be found in a device used to observe Newton’s rings. Moreover we give a proof of the general method used to determine the localized fringes position. This proof is suitable for undergraduate optics courses. We also analyze the visibility of fringes. © 1980, American Association of Physics Teachers. All rights reserved.
