*16 Babinet's principle. A monochromatic beam of paral- lel light is incident on a "colli- mating" hole of diameter x> A. Point P lies in the geometrical shadow region on a distant screen (Fig. 36-39a). Two dif- fracting objects, shown in Fig. 36-39b, are placed in turn over the collimating hole. Object A is an opaque circle with a hole in it, and B is the "photographic negative" of A.
