Description
We introduce an economical quantitative optical experiment aimed at acquainting students with the near- and far-field diffraction regimes, as defined by the Fresnel-Kirkhoff and Fraunhofer models, respectively. This experiment demonstrates the transition using a triangular slit. It incorporates the use of cost-effective, easily accessible materials, along with a basic camera, typical of those available in common smartphones. The experimental setup was tested on graduate students in mathematics and physics who are prospective high school teachers.
