Advice
- For the diffraction problems that need ploting, be absolutely sure that you can see plot/curve details. In other words, if your plot is a single bright spot amidst a field of black... you need to fix your plot. All plots that need ploting in this problem set give nice continuous curves.
- If you need help with Matlab or Mathematica, let me know. Send me your code, and I should be able to help. -- Dave
Problem 4.6
There was some confusion on this problem. Hopefully this helps:
The gratting is not infinite. It is a finite size amplitude transmission gratting.
Pitch, for this problem, is defined as number of slits/unit length.
Incident Light
| V
Grating - - - - - - - - - - -
Diffracted Light
gratings of different pitch:
-- -- -- -- -- -- --
--- --- --- --- ---
---- ---- ----
