Diffraction of light

In physics, the term diffraction is defined as the bending of light around the corners of the obstacle. As a light ray passes by an aperture, it bends around the edges or through slits, it spreads out through a narrow opening. The diffracted light will p…

Textbook Question

Chapter 36, Problem 36.21E

An interference pattern is produced by light of wavelength 580 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel slits separated by a distance (between centers) of 0.530 mm.

(a) If the slits are very narrow, what would be the angular positions of the first-order and second-order, two-slit interference maxima?
(b) Let the slits have width 0.320 mm. In terms of the intensity I₀ at the center of the central maximum, what is the intensity at each of the angular positions in part (a)?
