Abstract:

This paper presents formulas which have been derived on the basis of Young's representation and new data on the edge wave, which relate the intensity distribution of the diffraction pattern from a slit to the light intensity in the image plane with no slit and to the parameters of the diffraction experiment.
A comparison is made of the intensity of the diffraction pattern calculated using these formulas with the experimental values and the values calculated using the Fresnel formulas.
