Diffraction of Light

Problem 5.97

A plane light wave falls normally on a diaphragm with round a perture opening the first NN Fresnel zones for a point PP on a screen located at a distance bb from the diaphragm. The wavelength of light is equal to λ.\lambda . Find the intensity of light I0I_{0} in front of the diaphragm if the distribution of intensity of light I(r)I(r) on the screen is known. Here rr is the distance from the point PP.

Reveal Answer
I0=2bNλ0I(r)rdrI_{0}=\frac{2}{b N \lambda} \int_{0}^{\infty} I(r) r d r
