A plane wave (λ = 6 × 10-5 cm) is incident normally on a circular aperture of radius a.

(a) Assume a = 1 mm. Calculate the values of z (on the axis) for which maximum intensity will occur. Plot the intensity as a function of z and interpret physically. Repeat the calculations for λ = 5 × 10-5 cm and discuss chromatic aberration of a zone plate.


(b) Assume z = 50 cm. Calculate the values of a for which minimum intensity will occur on the axial point. Plot the intensity variation as a function of a and interpret physically.
