To graphically represent the intensity distribution in Fraunhofer's single slit diffraction experiment, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup In a Fraunhofer single slit diffraction experiment, a monochromatic light wave passes through a single slit of width 'a'. The light diffracts and creates a pattern of intensity on a screen placed far away from the slit. ### Step 2: Define the Axes - **X-axis**: This will represent the angle θ (in radians) or the position on the screen (y) relative to the center of the central maximum. - **Y-axis**: This will represent the intensity (I) of the light, which varies with the angle or position. ...
