    I Single-Slit Diffraction -- Deriving the relation for the minima

    I see, the method have serious limitations, though it provides an intuitive understanding of the phenomeon - at least, in the basic level. Thanks once more!

    I Single-Slit Diffraction -- Deriving the relation for the minima

    May I bother you with one last time about this topic? The question is: If I try to use the same calculation method to determine the maxima - dividing the slit in 2,4...- it doesn't work. For example, if you calcula for a path difference of 1 wavelength (for a/2), you obtain a value that coincide...

    I Single-Slit Diffraction -- Deriving the relation for the minima

    Thank you much so much! I looked for this explanation in many books and online classes, and this is the first time someone convincely explained it!

    I Single-Slit Diffraction -- Deriving the relation for the minima

    Hi everyone. I'm studying single-slit diffraction, and a question came up: to derivate the relation for the minima (dark fringes), the slit is devided in two parts, and it's assumed the distance between the light rays is a/2. Why is this distance chosen? I was wondering about other options...
