Problem 11E
Parallel rays of light with wavelength 620 nm pass through a slit covering a lens with a focal length of 40.0 cm. The diffraction pattern is observed in the focal plane of the lens, and the distance from the center of the central maximum to the first minimum is 36.5 cm. What is the width of the slit? (Note: The angle that locates the first minimum is not small.)
