  2. Diffraction from slits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction_from_slits

    Graph and image of single-slit diffraction. As an example, an exact equation can now be derived for the intensity of the diffraction pattern as a function of angle in the case of single-slit diffraction. A mathematical representation of Huygens' principle can be used to start an equation.

  3. List of optics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_optics_equations

    Visulization of flux through differential area and solid angle. As always ^ is the unit normal to the incident surface A, = ^, and ^ is a unit vector in the direction of incident flux on the area element, θ is the angle between them.

  4. Fraunhofer diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunhofer_diffraction

    Graph and image of single-slit diffraction. The width of the slit is W. The Fraunhofer diffraction pattern is shown in the image together with a plot of the intensity vs. angle θ. [10] The pattern has maximum intensity at θ = 0, and a series of peaks of decreasing intensity. Most of the diffracted light falls between the first minima.

  5. Fraunhofer diffraction equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Fraunhofer_diffraction_equation

    Diffraction geometry, showing aperture (or diffracting object) plane and image plane, with coordinate system. If the aperture is in x ′ y ′ plane, with the origin in the aperture and is illuminated by a monochromatic wave, of wavelength λ, wavenumber k with complex amplitude A(x ′,y ′), and the diffracted wave is observed in the unprimed x,y-plane along the positive -axis, where l,m ...

  6. Diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction

    Graph and image of single-slit diffraction. A long slit of infinitesimal width which is illuminated by light diffracts the light into a series of circular waves and the wavefront which emerges from the slit is a cylindrical wave of uniform intensity, in accordance with the Huygens–Fresnel principle.

  7. Pell's equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pell's_equation

    Pell's equation, also called the Pell–Fermat equation, is any Diophantine equation of the form =, where n is a given positive nonsquare integer, and integer solutions are sought for x and y. In Cartesian coordinates , the equation is represented by a hyperbola ; solutions occur wherever the curve passes through a point whose x and y ...

  8. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    An example of using Newton–Raphson method to solve numerically the equation f(x) = 0. In mathematics, to solve an equation is to find its solutions, which are the values (numbers, functions, sets, etc.) that fulfill the condition stated by the equation, consisting generally of two expressions related by an equals sign.

  9. Electron diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_diffraction

    Close to an aperture or atoms, often called the "sample", the electron wave would be described in terms of near field or Fresnel diffraction. [12]: Chpt 7-8 This has relevance for imaging within electron microscopes, [1]: Chpt 3 [2]: Chpt 3-4 whereas electron diffraction patterns are measured far from the sample, which is described as far-field or Fraunhofer diffraction.
