Your research supervisor has given you an opaque foil in which there are two slits separated by 30.0 μm and a helium-neon laser, which emits light of wavelength 632.8 nm. Each of the slits in the foil has a width of 2.00 µm. What is the ratio of the intensity of the n=15 maximum to that of the central maximum? Explain how you came to your conclusion.
