At P^ and P„ on each side of P„ there will bea minimum if AP^ — BP„^=X = BP^ — AP^ in which case the dis-turbances from the two halves of the lens reach P^ and P^ in oppo-site phases and cancel each other. The width of the image, which INTERFERENCE.… … Fig. 290. ticular dimension of the image will be inversely proportional tothe same dimension in the source, as appears from the relation(§468).
