Monochromatic, in phase light of wavelength \lambda = 716nm 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 75.5cm away from the metal plate. The first two minima are measured to be 17.45cm and 38.08cm away from the central maxima. What is the brightness of the light at a distance of 24.79cm from the central maxima, relative to the brightness of the central maxima?
