Let E 01 be the electric-field amplitude on a distant screen due to each one of three

Question:

Let E01 be the electric-field amplitude on a distant screen due to each one of three very narrow parallel slits illuminated by monochromatic plane waves. Compare the amplitude of the central subsidiary maximum to the amplitude of the zeroth-order principal maximum in the resulting Fraunhofer pattern. How does this stack up against the results of the previous question? Explain your answer in detail. You should ignore the diffraction of the individual slits.
