    Diffraction by Square Aperture

    Uploaded by

    Sudipta
    This document describes an experiment using diffraction through a square aperture. It includes diffraction patterns and intensity graphs measured for light passing through an aperture with dimensions of 0.74 mm by 0.70 mm vertically and horizontally. Formulas are provided showing the relationships between intensity, the diffraction angle, and the aperture width for the square aperture. Measurements of the actual aperture dimensions using inductive and capacitive techniques are also reported.
