Aperture Shape and Diffraction Patterns
Light of a single wavelength is incident on two different apertures. Aperture A is a narrow rectangular slit, and Aperture B is a narrow annular ring of the same area. How do the diffraction patterns produced by the two apertures compare?
A
A produces a linear pattern; B produces concentric rings
B
Both produce linear patterns with equally spaced minima
C
Both produce patterns with circular symmetry
D
A produces concentric rings; B produces a linear pattern
