Hey people...
This isn't really a homewrok question, I am asking it to try and improve my understanding, but if i still have posted it in the wrong place i sincerely apologise if i upset anyone.
I am going over some notes before my exam in 4 days and have encountered a problem...
the synopsis says i need to be able to "explain why the Fresnel diffraction pattern of a single slit can have zero intensity at its centre."
its not in my notes, and I've looked it up in Giancoli, but it doesn't distinguish between Fresnel diffraction and Fraunhofer diffraction so it was no help...
Just a brief description would be all i need...can anyone help?
cheers,
bart
