EXERCISE 3: IRRADIANCE DUE TO N POINT SOURCES AND AN L-SHAPED APERTURE

Now imagine that you have N point sources, as in Exercise 2, but now the aperture is an L-shaped aperture as shown below.

What do you expect the irradiance pattern at the screen to look like? Why? Now calculate the irradiance pattern at the screen for the case N=101 and w=2.0 cm. Does the computed pattern resemble your prediction?
