When radio waves try to pass through a city, they encounter thin vertical slits: the separations between the buildings. This causes the radio waves to diffract. In this problem, you will see how different wavelengths diffract as they pass through a city and relate this to reception for radios and cell phones. You will use the angle from the center of the central intensity maximum to the first intensity minimum as a measure of the width of the central maximum (where nearly all of the diffracted energy is found).

Required:
a. Find the angle θ to the first minimum from thecenter of the central maximum.
b. What is the angle θ_FM to the first minimum foran FM radio station with a frequency of 101MHz?
