Abstract:
The actual character of intensity distribution over the width of a slit image formed by a bounded light beam is found experimentally as the slit is illuminated by a plane monochromatic wave. This distribution differs in principle from that given by the classical theory of diffraction. The peculiarities of this distribution, along with the earlier discovered facts, are indicative of the absence of the Huygens secondary light waves.
