deBroglie's formula allows us to switch momentum for wavelength: h lambda = ----- p h lambda = ----- px In a classical single-slit diffraction pattern, the center of the screen is bright, and dark spots appear when an angle theta leads to destructive interference: d sin(theta) = lambda h = ----- px Solving for theta, we get ( lambda ) ( h ) theta = asin ( -------- ) = asin ( -------- ) ( d ) ( d * px )
