Make a plot of the intensity as a function of distance along the symmetry axis of the circular aperture. This is Figure 8.22 in the handout. Use non-dimensionalized units to make your plot, and explain how you are non-dimensionalizing your units. Also make sure to scale the distance along the axis in units of a2/l where a is the radius of the aperture.

Make a plot of the intensity as a function of distance along the symmetry axis of the circular aperture. This is Figure 8.22 in the handout. Use non-dimensionalized units to make your plot, and explain how you are non-dimensionalizing your units. Also make sure to scale the distance along the axis in units of a/4, where a is the radius of the aperture. The violent intensity fluctuations are caused, of course, by the constructive and destruc- tive interference of the spherical waves emanating from the point sources filling the circular aperture. The zeros and maxima occur a.
