Why does the intensity of the bright fringes decrease as we move away from the central maxima in Young's Double Slit Experiment?

I studied that in Young's Double Slit Experiment the variation of intensity ($I$) of the fringes on the screen with respect to the phase difference ($Φ$) is given...

How to get transfer function for linear matter power spectrum?

I understand that the linear matter power spectrum is given by (Dodelson, Modern Cosmology): $$P_L(k) = P_R(k)dfrac{4}{25}dfrac{k^4}{Omega_m H_0^2}T^2(k)D_+(a),$$ where $P_R(k) = (2pi^2/k^3)A_s(k/k_p)^{n_s-1}$, $D_+(a)$ is the growth rate,...

When do phase space functions' Poisson brackets inherit the Lie algebra structure of a symmetry?

I've seen several examples of phase space functions whose Poisson brackets (or Dirac brackets) have the same algebra as the Lie algebra of some symmetry. For example, for plain old...

Why is Sellmeier's equation an even function of $lambda$?

According to Sellmeier's formula, the dispersion formula of a transparent material can be written as$$n^2(lambda) = 1 +sum_ifrac{B_i lambda^2}{lambda^2 - C_i},$$ where $B_i$ and...
