Single-Slit Diffraction Pattern of a Thermal Atomic Potassium Beam
Leavitt, John A.; Bills, Francis A.
Amer J Phys, 37, 9, 905-912, 69 Sep
The diffraction of a full thermal atomic potassium beam by a single slit was observed. Four experimental diffraction patterns were compared with that predicted by de Brogtie's hypothesis and simple scalar Fresnel diffraction theory. Possible reasons for the differences were discussed. (LC)
