Summary

Description
English: Plot of the radial amplitude distribution of an Airy disk, the diffraction pattern of a circular aperture in the interval [-4,4], where J1 is the Bessel function of the first kind. Here is with as the aperture radius, the wavelength of the diffracted wave and the angle of observation.
