Solved: Consider a single-slit diffraction experiment in
Chapter 36, Problem 18E(choose chapter or problem)
Consider a single-slit diffraction experiment in which the amplitude of the wave at point O in Fig.36.5a is \(E_{0}\). For each of the following cases, draw a phasor diagram like that in Fig. 36.8c and determine graphically the amplitude of the wave at the point in question. (Hint: Use Eq. (36.6) to determine the value of \(\beta\) for each case.) Compute the intensity and compare to Eq. (36.5). (a) \(\sin \theta=\lambda / 2 a\)(b) \(\sin \theta=\lambda / a\) (c) \(\sin \theta=3 \lambda / 2 a\).
