Fresnel diffraction is observed behind a wire 0.37 mm thick, which is placed 2 m from the light source and 3 m from the screen. If light of wavelength 630 nm is used, compute, using the Cornu spiral, the irradiance of the diffraction pattern on the axis at the screen. Express the answer as some number times the unobstructed irradiance there.
