Answer:

Check Newton's Rings:

d = height of air film

s = distance from center to ring being considered

R = radius of circle considered

The approximate formula is:

d = s^2 / (2 R)   or s = (2 R d)^1/2

If we just use 4000 mi for R and 1/4 mi for d the height

we get s = (2 * 4000 * 1/4)^1/2 = 2000^1/2 mi = 45 mi
