Chapter 36: Problem 16
Monochromatic light of wavelength 592 nm from a distant source passes through a slit that is 0.0290 mm wide. In the resulting diffraction pattern, the intensity at the center of the central maximum \((\theta = 0^\circ)\) is 4.00 \(\times\) 10\(^{-5}\) W/m\(^2\). What is the intensity at a point on the screen that corresponds to \(\theta\) = 1.20\(^\circ\)?
