Q3d 2 Uses Differential Calculus The Intensity Of Waves Measured At A Point A Fixed Large Distance From A Single 1 (145.62 KiB) Viewed 69 times
= Q3D.2 (Uses differential calculus.) The intensity of waves measured at a point a fixed (large) distance from a single slit of width a as a function of angle 0 turns out to be sin 2 a sin I(O) = Imax where = (Q3.16) 4 2 and X is the waves' wavelength. What is the peak intensity of the first fringe to the right or left of the central bright spot compared to that of the central bright spot? (Hint: You will need to solve a simple transcendental equation, either by trial and error or by using www.wolframalpha.com.)
