Chapter 37, Problem 4P
In Figure 37.7, show mathematically how many interference maxima are enclosed by the central diffraction maximum in the pattern. Notice that the diagram is generated by using 650-nm light to illuminate two 3.0-μm slits separated by 18 μm.
Figure 37.7 The combined effects of two-slit and single-slit interference. This pattern is produced when 650-nm light waves pass through two 3.0-μm slits that are 18 μm apart.

Two vertical slits of width 2.13 μm are separated by 24.4 μm and are illuminated by a laser with wavelength 514 nm. If a screen is placed at a distance of 1.96 m and we look at a location 23.8 cm horizontally from the center of the screen, what is the percentage of the single-slit intensity that we will see?
