Diffraction
This example is from diffraction theory in classical electrodynamics. (J.D. Jackson,
Classical Electrodynamics
, John Wiley
& Sons, 1962.)
Suppose you have a plane wave of intensity
I
0
and wave number
k
. Assume that the plane wave is parallel to the
xy
-
plane and travels along the
z
-axis as shown below. This plane wave is called the
incident wave.
A perfectly conducting
flat diffraction screen occupies half of the
xy
-plane, that is
x
<
0. The plane wave strikes the diffraction screen, and you
observe the diffracted wave from the line whose coordinates are
(x
, 0,
z
0
)
, where
z
0
>
0.
The intensity of the diffracted wave is given by
where
and and are the Fresnel cosine and sine integrals:
How does the intensity of the diffracted wave behave along the line of observation? Since
k
and
z
0
are constants
