It shows the light intensity on a viewing screen behind a circular aperture. What happens to the width of the central maximum if the
a. The wavelength of the light is increased.
b. The diameter of the aperture is increased.
c. How will the screen appear if the aperture diameter is less than the light wavelength?
Because sound is a wave, it's possible to make a diffraction grating for sound from a large board of sound-absorbing material with several parallel slits cut for sound to go through. When sound waves pass through such a grating, listeners from the grating report "loud spots" on both sides of center. What is the spacing between the slits? Use for the speed of sound.
shows the interference pattern on a screen behind an diffraction grating. What is the wavelength (in ) of the light?

Light from a helium-neon laser illuminates a circular aperture. It is noted that the diameter of the central maximum on a screen behind the aperture matches the diameter of the geometric image. What is the aperture's diameter (in mm)?
shows the light intensity on a screen behind a double slit. The slit spacing is and the wavelength of the light is . What is the distance from the slits to the screen?
