Textbook Question
Chapter 11.5, Problem 3cT
You may have already noticed that the maxima are (approximately) 0.01 radians apart, except that there are no maxima at
How can you account for these “missing” maxima? (Hint: Consider how the relative intensity graph would be different if the width of the slits were decreased.)
Are your answers from part A consistent with your answer above? If not, resolve the inconsistency.

Part A
Green light shines through a 100-mm-diameter hole and is observed on a screen. If the hole diameter is increased by 20%, does the circular spot of light on the screen decrease in diameter, increase in diameter, or stay the same? Explain.
Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right.
