[UPSC CSE 2011] Diffraction (Q261, 10M)
The Fraunhofer single-slit diffraction intensity is given by I=I_0\frac{\sin^2 x}{x^2} where x=\frac{\pi d y}{\lambda l}, with l as the distance from slit to source, d the slit width, y the detector distance and \lambda the wavelength. What is the value of cumulative intensity \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} I(y)\,dy?
