What must be the thickness of such crystal?arrow_forwardIn the laser range-finding experiments, the laser beam fired toward the moon spreads out as it travels because it diffracts through a circular exit as it leaves the laser. In order for the reflected light to be bright enough to detect, the laser spot on the moon must be no more than 1 km in diameter. Staying within this diameter is accomplished by using a special large-diameter laser.If λ = 532 nm, what is the minimum diameter of the circular opening from which the laser beam emerges?
