Problem 30
Q

Coherent light from a laser diode is emitted through a rectangular area 3.0  μm×1.5  μm3.0 \; \mu \textrm{m} \times 1.5 \; \mu \textrm{m} (horizontal-byvertical). If the laser light has a wavelength of 780 nm, determine the angle between the first diffraction minima

  1. above and below the central maximum,
  2. to the left and right of the central maximum.
A
  1. 6363^\circ
  2. 3030^\circ
