Practice question

**Double-slit vs single-slit** double-slit interference pattern has equally spaced bright fringes with envelope due to single-slit diffraction, single-slit central maximum width 2λ D/a, intensity of secondary maxima decreases with order, condition for coherence constant frequency and phase, path difference for bright n λ, dark (n+½)λ. Constructive interference occurs when the path difference is an integer multiple of the wavelength, i.e., Δ = nλ , where n = 0, 1, 2, ldots . Using Δ = d sinθ, y = n λ D/d, a sinθ = n λ, I = I₀ cos²θ, n = c/v, sinC = 1/n, λ' = λ/n and A = 2a cos(φ/2),
