The diffraction pattern is observed on a viewing screen that is located 55cm away from the metal plate. The first two minima are measured to be 2.3cm and 7.0cm away from the central maxima. What is the brightness of the light at a distance of 6.3cm from the central maxima, relative to the brightness of the central maxima? x10-3 Note: Brightness is proportional to the SQUARE of the amplitude. For double slit, this means I = I (cos(d sin ) º)) ². 2 I = I₂ sin (5) xd sin 0 . For single slit, this means In both of these, I, is the maximum brightness, and d is the characteristic spacing of the slit(s).arrow_forward
