Single Slit Diffraction of Light Interference by bending
Example • Light with a wavelength 670nm passes through a slit with a width of 12mm. Viewed on a screen, 30cm away: • How wide is the central maxima in degrees and cm? • What is the separation of adjacent minima (excluding the pair on either side of the central maximum).
