Chapter 35.1, Problem 1AE
Single-slit diffraction maximum. Light of wavelength 750 nm passes through a slit 1.0 × 10−3 mm wide. How wide is the central maximum (a) in degrees, and (b) in centimeters, on a screen 20 cm away?
EXERCISE A In Example 35-1, red light (λ = 750 nm) was used. If instead yellow light at 575 nm had been used, would the central maximum be wider or narrower?
