Monochromatic light with wavelength 620 nm passes through a circular aperture with diameter 7.4 um. The resulting diffraction pattern is observed on a screen that is 4.5 m from the aperture. What is the diameter of the Airy disk on the screen?
Monochromatic laser light flows through a small slit in a thin aluminum plate and generates a diffraction pattern on a screen 0.620 m from the slit in a huge vacuum chamber. When the aluminum plate is heated to 20.0C, the width of the diffraction pattern's center maximum is 2.75 mm. When the temperature of the plate is increased to 520.0C, what is the change in the breadth of the center maximum? When the temperature is raised, does the breadth of the center diffraction maximum rise or decrease?
