One day after pulling down your window shade you notice


One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. Having recently studied optics in your physics class, you're not too surprised to see that the patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern. It appears that the central maximum is about 6 across, and you estimate that the distance from the window shade to the wall is about 5 . Knowing that the diameter of sunlight is 500 nm estimate the diameter of the pinhole?
