a. Show that in a double-slit Fraunhofer diffraction pattern, the ratio of widths of the central diffraction peak to the central interference fringe is 2(a/b), where a/b is the ratio of slit separation to slit width. Notice that the result is independent of wavelength.


b. Determine the peak-to-fringe ratio, in particular when a = 10b.
