Step-by-step solution

Step 1 of 3

Validity of the Fresnel Approximation:

The validation criterion for a spherical wave to be approximated by a paraboidal wave within a
circle of radius and it is originated at a distance away from the given axis.

Write the validation condition of the radius of the circle.

....... (1)

Here, is the radius of the circle, is the distance from the axis and is the wavelength.
