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.

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.
