Apertures for the diffraction studied in this chapter are __________. A. a single slit.
B. a circle.
C. a square.
D. both A and B.
E. both A and C.

Respuesta :

Answer: the correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: the chapter summary can be found in chapter 22 of the Pearson Education,Inc. (PDF format).

In the chapter, a single slit aperture diffraction and a circle aperture diffraction was discussed.

A circle aperture diffraction occurs when light pass through a tiny hole or aperture to produce a circular disc image. This disc is called Airy's disc.

To calculate the aperture diameter,d we can use the formula below;

d= m× λ/ sin θ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

The single slit aperture diffraction is when light pass through a single slit to produce. The wavelength, λ is greater than the width of the aperture.
