The diffraction pattern of a small circular object has minima at the same angles as the diffraction

Question:

The diffraction pattern of a small circular object has minima at the same angles as the diffraction pattern of a circular hole of the same diameter. By shining a laser on a sample of human blood, one can observe the diffraction pattern from red blood cells, which are roughly circular, and deduce the diameter of the cells. Light of wavelength 532 nm is diffracted from a sample of blood; the pattern is viewed on a screen 46 cm from the sample, and the central maximum is 7.5 cm in diameter. What is the diameter of the red blood cells in the sample?

My experience has a tutor has helped me with learning and relearning. You learn everyday actually and there are changes that are made to the curriculum every time so being a tutor has helped in keeping me updated about the present curriculum and all. I have also been able to help over 100 students achieve better grades particularly in the categories of Math and Biology both in their internal examinations and external examinations.

A hologram is a three-dimensional image created by the interference of light beams from a laser or other light source. The holographic image appears to be floating in space and can be viewed from different angles, just like a real object. Holograms have many practical applications, including security features on credit cards and passports, 3D displays for medical imaging and scientific visualization, and holographic art and entertainment. The process of making a hologram involves recording the interference pattern of laser light on photographic film or other recording media, and then reconstructing the pattern with a laser to create the holographic image. To begin making a hologram, start by drawing shapes and marking measurements on a large cardboard using a scale, cutter, and pencil or pen. Cut out the cardboard pieces according to the measurements, and spray each piece with a coloring spray for a better look. Create a mobile holder by attaching long and small cardboard bars to a rectangle-shaped cardboard base with glue. Make side walls by placing cardboard wall pieces on top of the base and securing them with glue. For the screen, use a polypropylene sheet and attach it to the side walls with needles and glue. Place small triangular-shaped side walls on top of the pp sheet and secure them with needles. Add a black cardboard paper back cover to the hologram by measuring, cutting, and gluing it to the back walls. Test the hologram by playing a hologram video on a mobile.
