Homework Statement
Laser light of wavelength λ is incident onto a pair of narrow slits of width a and spacing dWrite down an expression for the intensity as a function of angle of the angle measured from the central axis, θ, in the far-*‐field
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I thought it was just the product of single and double slit diffraction, i.e...
I= I0cos2(∏dsinθ/λ)(sin(∏asinθ/λ)/∏asinθ/λ))2but the answer was I= 4I0cos2(∏dsinθ/λ)(sin(∏asinθ/λ)/∏asinθ/λ))2im not sure where this 4 has come from??
also how would I show if d=a then this formula turns into the double slit pattern.??
