What is the radius of the central bright spot resulting from illuminating a circular aperture of diameter 0.5 mm with a laser having a wavelength of 500 nm? The screen is 82 cm from the aperture. Choose the closest. a) 1 nm b) 1
Hi, I have used the information given in Hyperpysics to solve this problem. I am attaching the screenshot of the page.
The distance of first minima from centre will give the radius of
of the central bright spot.
Now, D = 82 cm = 0.82m, d = 0.5 mm = 0.5 x 10-3 m,
, m =
1.220
So,
Option: C
The angle, A, between the axis and 1st dark fringe is given by sinA=1.22lambda /d (d = aperture diameter;
sinA=1.22*500*10^-9/0.0005
=1220000*10^-9
=0.122
A=7.16 degree
For small angles tanA = sinA to a good approximation
R = DtanA = DsinA = D x 1.22lambda/d
=0.122/0.82
=0.149m

Problem 1. An opaque screen Σ contains a circular aperture 2.0 mm in diameter. A monochromatic point source (Ao = 550 nm) lies on the axis running through the center of the aperture perpendicular to Σ That source is 3.0 m in front of Σ, and point P is 3.0 m beyond it, both on the central axis. Calculate the number of Fresnel zones that fill the hole as seen from P. Will there be a bright spot or a...
