A plane monochromatic light wave falls normally on an opaque screen shaped as a long strip with a round hole in the middle. For the observation point P the hole corresponds to half the Fresnel zone, with the hole diameter being eta = 1.07 times less then the width of the strip. Using Fig. find the intensity of light at the point P provided that the intensity of the incident light is equal to I_(0).

Solution :The radius of the first HALF Fresnel zone is `sqrt(b LAMBDA//2)` and the amplitude at `P` is obtained using problem
`A = (a_(0))/(b) [[-etasqrt(b lambda//2) oo],[int + int],[-oo etasqrt(b lambda//2)]] E^(-ikb-(kx^(2))/(2b)) dx`
`underset(-oo)overset(oo)int e^(-iky^(2)/(2b)) dy + (a_(0))/(b)e^(-ikb) underset(-oo)overset(sqrt(b lambda//2))int e^(-ikrho^(2)//2b) 2PI rho d rho`
We use `underset(-oo)overset(-etasqrt(b lambda//2))int e^(-ikx^(2)//2b) dx`
`= underset(eta sqrt(b lambda//2))overset(oo)int e^(-ikx^(2)//2b) dx =underset(eta sqrt(b lambda//2))overset(oo)int e^(-i(pix^(2))/(b lambda)) dx`
`= underset(eta)overset(oo)int e^(-ik piu^(2)//2) sqrt((b lambda)/(2)) DU = sqrt((blambda)/(2))(underset(0)overset(oo)int -underset(0)overset(eta)int) e^(-i piu^(2)//2) du`
`= sqrt((b lambda)/(2)) (((1)/(2)-C(eta)) -i(1)/(2)-S(eta)))`
Thus `A = a_(0) (lambda)/(cancel(2)) xx cancel(2) xx (1 - i) e^(-ikb) [((1)/(2)-C(eta))`
`-i((1)/(2)-S(eta))] + a_(0)lambda(1 - i)e^(-ikb)`
where we have used
`underset(0)overset(sqrt(b lambda//2))int e^(-ikrho^(2)/(2b)) 2pi rho d rho = (2pi ib)/(k) (-1-i) = (2pib)/(k)(1-i) = lambda b(1-i)`
Thus the intensity is
`I = |A|^(2) = a_(0)^(2)lambda^(2) xx 2[(3//2-C(eta))^(2) + ((1)/(2)-S(eta))^(2)]`
From Cornu's Sprial,
`C(eta) = C(1.07) = 0.76`
`S(eta) = S(1.07) = 0.50`
`I = a_(0)^(2)lambda^(2) xx 2 xx (0.74)^(2) = 1.09 a_(0)^(2) lambda^(2)`
As before `i_(0) = a_(0)^(2)lambda^(2)` do `I ~~ I_(0)`.
