For an aperture of size \(a\) illuminated by a parallel beam of light having wavelength \(\lambda\), the Fresnel distance is
1 \( \approx a/\lambda \)
2 \( \approx {a^2}/\lambda \)
3 \( \approx {a^2}\lambda \)
4 \( \approx a/{\lambda ^2}\)
Explanation:
In this case, the Fresnel distance is equivalent to \(a^{2} / \lambda\).
