Monochromatic, in phase light of wavelength λ=812nm
is incident on a piece of metal with either one or two slits on it - it is difficult to see to determine which.
The diffraction pattern is observed on a viewing screen that is located 60cm
away from the metal plate. The first two minima are measured to be 8cm
and 25.6cm
away from the central maxima.
What is the brightness of the light at a distance of 12cm
from the central maxima, relative to the brightness of the central maxima?
