The Fraunhofer diffraction pattern for a single slit of width a is given by:
/7
where = (2 a / a)sin 0 . Calculate the fractional intensity I /Io of a diffraction
pattern at a point on the viewing screen 1.50 mm from the central maximum if the screen is 1.30 m away from the 0.050 mm wide aperture. Assume monochromatic light of wavelength 546.1 nm illuminates the aperture. (3 marks)
